Nature education program on St. Maarten

Nature Foundation St. Maarten, NFSXM, education coordinator is responsible for nature education classroom activities, field activities and after school activities.
At the Nature Foundation, St. Maarten we are dedicated to inspiring and educating the residents of our island to become environmental advocates who work to preserve and protect our natural resources.
The main focus of our educational outreach programs is the youth of St. Maarten. The foundation strives to provide year-round activities for local students that include introduction to environmental issues and hands-on learning activities. We hope that early introduction to these issues will lead to lasting change and instill a sense of responsibility to safeguard the island and its natural environment.
In addition to school visits the foundation works with several youth groups on the island and produces media through many outlets to ensure that environmental education remains easily accessible for all those living on St. Maarten.
