Experience Asheville

We chat with Ryan and Perry of Muddy Sneakers, based out of Brevard, NC, which is an environmental education program that works with 5th grade public school students across Western North Carolina and the Piedmont. They talk about how the children of today are the conservationists of tomorrow and how learning and engaging outside is vital to our kids and our future land! This innovative program educates on the core concepts of the state science curriculum using hands-on, experiential teaching methods spread over multiple, outdoor classroom experiences. Perry and Ryan share some secret gems of where to hike at the end so be sure and listen close. Proceeds from our Launch Party at Twin Leaf Brewery will go to this incredible organization. Currently, Muddy Sneakers partners with approximately 2,700 students at 36 different schools in the Carolinas. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/experienceasheville/support
