~Joshua Bean has a passion for adventure and has an amazing gift with animals. He enjoys exploring and hiking the hills near his home, always coming back with great stories and amazing finds from the land. Joshua started nature awareness when he was 5 1/2 and he is now in the teen program at Riekes.
Joshua assists in BEan In Nature, Nature Science and Native Naturalist classes. He has been our assistant since 2013. His ability to help the children connect to the land and to each other, and have a great time outdoors, is what make Joshua such a great mentor. |

"We will be there again this year! Just want to give you a heads up on a really fun camp! My girls did this with Marisa last year and LOVED it! If your girls love the outdoors and likes learning primitive skills, then this camp is for them. Marisa is a fantastic teacher, she knows when to offer a lot of guidance and when to let a child explore on their own."

"It gives me such joy to know that so many children in our region are being exposed to the wonders of nature as well as developing social responsibility through Service Learning projects taught by you. I only wish Liliana could attend more of your classes in the future. Liliana will be leaving CA with an appreciation and love for nature, due in large part, to the experiences she had with you. She went from being a girl who didn't like to get her hands dirty, to a girl who now picks up bugs, digs in the dirt and loves hiking in the woods! Thanks for helping to cure her of Nature Deficit Disorder! :). We will miss you very much and hope you will keep up your amazing work of positively impacting children through nature immersion."
Fondly,
