The Problem
This project is meant to fill the hearts of the community by providing a means for kids in middle to high school and some college students to improve their community by impacting the environment and spreading environmental awareness. This project is separated in to two similar and interactive projects. The first focuses on pollinators and the environmental degregation that accompanies the declining population of bees and other pollinators. The kids here join with the local food share and design and integrate their own ideas as to what they want to do. The second project focuses around the idea of permaculture and conservation of the environment. It is integrated into both Salem and Portland, Oregon. It integrates youth into the project planning of creating permaculture gardens and restoration of the environment. The most beautiful and fulfilling things about these projects is the encouragement with the youth that will give them a purpose in the community and give them idea about their future. Both of these projects are mainly designed by the you and center around restoration for the environment in their community and the integration of this restoration into food production.
