First Earth Wilderness School, LLC
The name First Earth represents a time when humankind walked in balance with the earth, as a member of the natural community. Modern civilization's indifference toward nature in pursuit of wealth and "progress" has resulted in an environmental legacy that may prove to be globally disastrous in the near future, and if we are to survive as a species, we must develop a sustainable culture that doesn't consume the planet for material gain. Learning the ancient ways can re-awaken our awareness of how little we really need to live, and be mentally, physically and spiritually nourished by that knowledge. Recognizing the sacred gift of our food plants and animals, simply even living outside and sleeping under the stars can reacquaint us with the miracle of "the spirit that in moves in all things", and help guide us toward a healthier relationship with our world.
First Earth's Founder and Director, Bo Brown, has worked as a wildlife biologist since 1985, was Associate Director with Ozark Center for Wildlife Research for it's 15-year history, and was a naturalist for Missouri Department of Conservation in Branson, Missouri for 9 years. His career has taken him all over the U.S. and Central America and provided the opportunity to develop a wealth of natural history knowledge. He has presented primitive skills and nature programs for many schools, museums, and elderhostels around the country. Bo co-founded Red Willow Primitive Skills, Inc. with partner Don Brink in 1993 and instructs at several large primitive skills gatherings. The 2013 Homeschool History Fair of the Ozarks is pleased to welcome back this invaluable resource to the fair. Do not miss this opportunity to learn more about the way humans lived before we began to take so much of our nature world for granted.
