What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Field It!
Field It is environmental education program encompassing all school subjects – science, art, music, writing and history - to motivate students to learn about the environment. The goal is that through real-life experiences, students will become more aware, passionate and interested in environmental issues. The program has been embraced at elementary and high schools in Maryland and Virginia.
Because each school and student are unique, we tailor our education efforts to meet the needs of teachers and students in our partner schools, immersing ourselves in the school to design a customized program that helps them meet their goals. Field It encompasses efforts such as habitat restoration, creating outdoor classrooms, school recycling, activities that augment environmental lesson plans, energy monitoring and conservation activities, field trips, guest speaker series, tool kits, eco- art contests and science fairs, Earth Day celebrations, and more.
Green Earth Book Award
NMF’s Green Earth Book Awards is the nation’s first environmental stewardship book award. This program promotes books that inspire children to grow a deeper appreciation, respect, and responsibility for their environment. This is an annual award for authors and illustrators whose books best raise awareness of the beauty of our natural world and the responsibility that we have to protect it. The Green Earth Book Award is awarded in four categories: Picture Book, Children’s Fiction, Young Adult Fiction, and Nonfiction.
Our Green Earth Book Awards are presented at Salisbury University’s annual Children’s and Young Adult Literature Festival, held in Salisbury, Maryland. NMF donates winning books to the Capital Book-Share -- thus providing our books to needy children in DC schools. We also directly donate to area libraries and schools in DC, Maryland and Virginia as well as area shelters and resource centers to give youth more access to these environmental books.
Chapman DeMary Nature Trail
The Chapman DeMAry Trail is located on 10 acres of the last old growth forest in Purcellville, Virgina. We host nature hikes and educational events throughout the year. The trail is open to the public year round and contains educational signs and literature so visitors can learn more about the habitat and ways to be responsible environmental stewards.
