Stories
“I would say that my time in SEEDS made me more successful in high school and helped make me the way I am today.”
“There’s a lot of working together at SEEDS. At first, I didn’t really know what to do while working on a team. Now I can really help, like when I’m in school and doing team projects. I think it will help me succeed in high school.”
We partnered with indigenous knowledge keepers to bring Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) lessons into SEEDS EcoSchool programs across rural Northern Michigan. Together, we created dynamic learning environments encouraging students to develop a deep respect for indigenous wisdom and a more profound connection to their own local place in the world.
