The Nature Foundation, in a continued effort to educate the youth on conservation issues and stress the important role they play in the future of nature conservation on this island, established the Junior Rangers program with the aim of introducing youngsters to the ocean through the teaching marine conservation.
School Children Education
The Nature Foundation actively engages in in-school programs and St. Maarten organizations providing Environmental Education. The Foundation gives presentations on a number of topics and hosts events for children and adults throughout the year.
