Pomaika'i students build a relationship with nature through repeated visits to Waihe'e Coastal Refuge during all their years at our school. As educators and parents, we know how valuable it is to connect our students with the natural world while their values are forming. Humans are hardwired to need nature—because we are part of it. Increasingly, children lack access to nature and the freedom to explore local flora and fauna. How can children care about nature if they haven’t experienced it firsthand? As caring adults, we must do all that we can to facilitate this connection.
