I have seen a lot of links posted on this forum that have great information for children of school age. We all should be getting this information out to the schools, as well as pre-schools, boy and girl scout troops, etc.... all the organizations that we can possible think of regarding children. If you do not have a direct connection to these groups, you can call the schools, call the local scouts office, go to their website, send them these links with information regarding the importance of getting our young children involved in conservation and saving our wildlife and planet! These are things that we can do to help spread Steve's message. Remember, it starts with one voice....and then we carry on!

these are so pretty..but no wolves?

Well his foundation is for the conservation and preservation of Whales and Dolphins and other Sea Life. Somebody has to watch over them also. I love the wolves too. They are beautiful!

Just a reminder of the show tonight on AP! See Shanon's previous post for more information!

Shanon,
Where are these in California? I think you said we will be 20 min from them. They are awe inspiring here I cant imagine what they would be like in person

There are actually 7 in Southern California. The one closet to where you are going is the one in Long Beach painted on the Convention Center. It is also in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest mural in the World. Click on the link at the top where I posted. The 1st page will show them all. All of the California ones, except for San Franciso are in Southern California.

This topic was first posted here last November. Wyland is a marine life artist who does amazing work that needs to be shared once more. Here is a new link that will show you some unbelievable art!
