Small Steps, Big Impact: Raising Environmentally Aware Kids

Austen Hill, the Education Outreach Specialist for the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District joins Dr. Christopher Villarreal and Dr. Deb Anderson to pull back the curtain on the organization quietly shaping the Omaha-Papillion metro: controlling floods, creating wildlife habitat, and bringing natural resource education directly into classrooms.


Discover why those lakes dotting our community aren't natural at all, how early positive experiences with nature shape a child's relationship with the environment for life, and why the storm drain at the end of your street matters more than you think.


Whether you're a parent looking for simple ways to connect your kids with the natural world or an educator interested in bringing environmental programming into your school, this episode is a reminder that nature isn't far away.
