Program

Tenio Planting Initiative

The Lakes District, Putenio, Puerto Montt, Chile
Tenio Natural Reserve
Puerto Montt, Chile

The Tenio Natural Reserve was founded in 2006 for the protection and management of the "Reserva Natural de Tenios." TNR works with a number of local and international partners to develop the majority of the area into a private reserve, open to the general public for education and research. The emphasis in 2008-2010 will be on fostering local economic and educational development by integrating community members into our efforts. The project will also address the planning and development of an educational campground dedicated to regional ecosystems. Located on the peninsula south of Puerto Montt, between I-5 and the coastal route, Putenio is located in the heart of the remaining rain forests of the region.

1. Reforestation of native and indigenous plants and trees
2. Collaboration with our partner school (K-8) Colegio Nuevo Horizonte www.colegionuevohorizonte1.blogspot.com for bilingual science and outdoor education.
3. Develop trails and a bilingual science education center to serve as a resource to area schools.
4. Gather old science and related materials stateside to donate to area schools in Chile.

"If you go with long-term significance, my pick for the top story of not only 2009 but also of the 21st Century is the pandemic of Nature Deficit Disorder, a term so aptly coined by Richard Louv in his best-selling outdoor book, Last Child in the Woods...."
— Bill Schneider, NewWest.Net

“Concerns about long-term consequences—affecting emotional well-being, physical health, learning abilities, environmental consciousness—have spawned a national movement to ‘leave no child inside.’ In recent months, it has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grassroots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a ‘green hour’ in each day.”
— Washington Post, June 2007

“The movement to reconnect children to the natural world has arisen quickly, spontaneously, and across the usual social, political, and economic dividing lines.”
— Orion magazine, March/April 2007
