What a great idea to distribute funding to schools! I appreciate how easy the lesson guide is for teachers. I love the Nature Benefits Wheel visual in the 6-8 lesson, and thought about how it could also serve as conversation starter to explore reciprocity and relationships with the natural world so students don't get the idea that the natural world is primarily in service to us.
