Roots & Shoots

As you'll soon find out, some of my greatest passions are nature and wildlife. Throughout University some classmates and I started a Roots & Shoots group, which is run through the Jane Goodall Institute. If you and other students in your school believe in making positive changes in your community through small everyday actions, this is the group for you. Roots & Shoots groups are connected to groups of all ages around the world, all working together to make a difference in environmental, animal and humanitarian issues.

"Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation. Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light, they can break open brick walls. Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet. Hundreds of thousands of roots & shoots, hundreds of thousands of young people around the world, can break through these walls. We CAN change the world."
      - Dr. Jane

  It all starts with YOU!
