Earth Native Wilderness School - YOUTH Programs

Earth Native Wilderness School - YOUTH Programs Earth Native Wilderness School is an environmental education school for all ages with a variety of classes and programs. Want Happier, Healthier, Smarter Kids?

Recent studies have directly linked time spent in nature to increased happiness, smarts, emotional health, reduced stress, and even better test scores. The latest statistics on declining childhood “nature” time are startling. Kids just aren’t getting outside and exploring like they used to a generation ago. Earth Native wants to help. A major part of our school’s mission is to help children develop strong connections to nature. We do this though a unique method of environmental education called Coyote Mentoring which utilizes child’s passions -- old school stuff like playing in the mud, building forts, catching critters, hiding and sneaking, and skipping stones as a foundation for adventure and learning. We use these child’s passions as the spark that drives a curriculum that is centered around natural learning cycles that will help your children not just build strong connections but learn a ton about the natural world around them.

Please help us oppose the proposed Pacifico AI data center and natural-gas power plant in rural Cedar Creek adjacent to Earth Native's gorgeous wilderness campus!

Pacifico is proposing a massive industrial development on the large ranch directly beside Earth Native Wilderness School and near many homes, farms, and families. The project would include a 710-megawatt natural-gas power plant to serve the massive AI data center.

Pacifico is asking Bastrop ISD, Bastrop County, and the State of Texas for major property-tax incentives. Its own application states that the viability of the Bastrop County location depends on receiving these incentives.

That means our community has a real opportunity to influence whether this project is built HERE, but we need people to act now.

Earth Native has created a webpage with information about the project and simple steps you can take to contact the officials making these decisions:

Please visit the page, send the letters, and share it with others:

This is not about opposing technology or economic development. It is about whether taxpayers should subsidize a massive industrial project beside rural neighborhoods, farms, spring-fed creeks, and our wilderness school! Every call and email counts; together we CAN make a difference!

A sit spot can be anywhere 🌿

Your backyard. A patch of flowers. The trail while your dog stops to sniff. A park bench. Even the crack in the sidewalk where something green decided to grow.

Nature is always happening around us… all we have to do is pause long enough to notice it.

At Earth Native Wilderness School, sit spots are one of the ways we teach awareness, observation, and connection to the natural world. The more time we spend quietly noticing, the more we begin to see.
