We are thrilled to share that our Wake Up to Nature event in early March was a huge success! Wake Up to Nature is an annual event where our Environmental Volunteers (EV) community comes together to celebrate the impact of our Nature Scientists and Sprout Up programs, and look forward to the future. This year, attendees became 1st graders and learned about bees, enjoyed an inspiring speech by Scott Loarie from iNaturalist.org and learned about EV’s future plans from Anu Ramamurty. Please enjoy these photos from our event, and click here to learn more: 🔗 https://www.environmentalvolunteers.org/special-events-wake-up-to-nature-2025/ Thanks to the generous support and the collective efforts of so many, we raised over $240,000!
