Equipment Needed for the Children’s Eternal Rainforest
It is as important to provide protection to the existing forest as it is to continue acquiring land. Without adequately equipped guards, educators and staff, the forest and its creatures are vulnerable. Our goal is to properly steward the rainforest so that it will truly be eternal—healthy and available for generations to come.
The following list shows what materials and funding are immediately needed to protect the forest. Make a donation tailored to the forest’s needs and you will help keep the “eternal” in the Children’s Eternal Rainforest.
