Janna brings boundless imagination and dedication to every project she touches, creating rich, integrated educational experiences that reconnect both children and adults to the wonder of the natural world. Watching her inspire others to see nature not just as something to protect, but as something to belong to, is an experience that leaves you in awe. Janna’s work through Earth Friends reminds us that when we learn to listen to the world around us, we also learn how to care for it. 

We love hearing the excitement in our granddaughter’s voice telling us about her experience in your camps.

The amount of labor this dedicated group puts in is obvious whenever we visit this incredible trail system. Seeing it come back this past year has been amazing. We love FATS.  

Sorry we cannot attend the fundraiser but love the work that Acorn does for our city kids! - The Aferiat Family

I am happy the park is available for all to enjoy!

For my grandchildren, all beings, and our beautiful planet. 

Earth Friends is an environmental awareness program designed for young children.

Earth Friends sees a world of stewards who are moving our planet and its people in every direction of good for all beings. We approach learning about our world through positivity, possibility, and play.

The Earth Friends program empowers young children by providing a foundation of education, love, and understanding for our planet and everything it provides us. Children gain a deeper connection to nature, understand their impact on the world around them, and become empowered to make decisions. Educators receive the materials, resources, and support to positivity impact young children, engage their families, and creative positive impact in their communities.

Our values are:

**curiosity:** We approach our work at Earth Friends with an open and curious mind. When we limit ourselves to what is right and what is wrong and only what has been done before, we are restraining the future creators and innovators who can lead us to a better world. We are here to live in a new way and ready to embrace different ideas.

**sustainability**: As Earth Friends builds the foundation for the future stewards of our planet, we model behaviors and practices that create positive human impact. Sustainability is at the core of our connection with nature and the understanding of how we impact our world. As we teach young children, we as adult, schools, and centers will walk the talk.

**equity:** We recognize that not all young children have access to early education resources, and we aim to create a greener and brighter future for every human and being through Earth Friends Outreach. Our lessons, materials, trainings, and supports cannot be specific to any one school or community but will be accessible to all children in their formative years, which is the goal of Earth Friends Outreach.

Empowering children to explore, learn, and grow through nature-based education and outdoor adventures.

  **At Acorn Outdoor Learning, children engage with nature in ways that spark curiosity, creativity, and a love for exploration.**

We provide **inclusive, place-based outdoor education programs** across Washington, D.C., bringing children into local parks, community gardens, and green spaces for hands-on learning. Our programs nurture each child’s strengths, foster healthy development, and build confidence, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, all while inspiring a lifelong connection to the natural world.

Children, like acorns, carry the potential to grow strong and resilient. With guidance, care, and the right environment, they can flourish into confident individuals and lifelong stewards of the environment. Just as the Scarlet Oak, D.C.’s state tree, grows strong and provides sustenance and shelter, Acorn Outdoor Learning cultivates growth, resilience, and responsibility in every child.

**Our mission** is to nurture children’s curiosity, confidence, and connection to nature through experiences that honor the diversity and strengths of each learner. We believe that engagement with nature is possible everywhere, and early experiences in our urban ecosystem can foster a lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship.

**Donor support makes our work possible.** Contributions help us:

- Maintain safe and engaging outdoor learning environments
- Develop programs that spark curiosity and exploration
- Provide **scholarships that ensure all children can participat**e
- Supply materials and resources for hands-on learning

Your donations directly impact children’s lives, helping them explore, discover, and grow in ways they might not otherwise experience. Every gift ensures that children from every neighborhood in D.C. can engage with nature, develop confidence, and become the next generation of environmental stewards.

**Join us in giving children the opportunity to explore, learn, and grow. Together we can help them reach their full potential while building a stronger, greener, and more connected community!**

ABOUT BUMP

Turning Interest Into Action

The mission of BUMP is to BUILD, PRESERVE, MAINTAIN and RIDE trails in the Birmingham and surrounding area. Our members, riders like you, help keep trails in great shape and open to mountain bikers. We are actively engaged in finding and acting on new trail building opportunities.

Think back to your last great ride. Surfing a ribbon of winding dirt in pristine woods, successfully navigating that rock garden, climbing that lung burning hill for the first time, squeezing between tight trees or simply enjoying the thrill of “big air.” That is why BUMP exists.

Since 1994, BUMP has gained and maintained access to Oak Mountain State Park, Tannehill State Park, and Trussville Sports Complex, built miles of new trail, and maintained the relationships with land managers and state and local governments necessary to maintain this trail access. BUMP, a non-profit 501 (3) c organization, gets most of its income from sponsors, race proceeds and contributions, but the backbone of our success is individual members like you who support us with their dues and volunteer hours. Our power comes from our numbers and our goal is to build even more trails of increasing variety for you to enjoy.

BUILD

BUMP members have a passion for riding and the wisdom to know you can not take it all for granted. Thus, BUMP volunteers have spent over 100,000 hours in the design and construction of new trail for over twenty years. Projects include the awesome trails at Oak Mountain State Park, Trussville Sports Park and Tannehill Historic Ironworks State Park. In addition, BUMP is all about building relationships with land managers, Sponsors, other trail user groups and other off road cyclists. Participation in BUMP activities builds new friendships and a healthy respect for the trail. So, grab a tool and volunteer! You will be glad you did!

MAINTAIN

BUMP is about maintaining what we build. BUMP volunteers spend over 1000 hours each year maintaining what we build. Not only does this mean good trails, but the good will and good relationships that allow us to maintain trail access. All of our trails are on public lands and thus we must maintain good relations with land managers, the public and other user groups so as to guarantee our continued trail access. It means speaking out when trail access is threatened as well as seeking new trail opportunities. It also means supporting cycling as a healthy lifestyle and thus maintaining our health and promoting the good health of others.

PRESERVE

BUMP is dedicated to the preservation of natural resources. To this end, we work with local land owners, managers, governments and other user groups to reach consensus on trail locations, routes and designs. Our trail designs and maintenance procedures are based on the sustainable design principles promoted by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), and thus are low maintenance, low erosion and low environmental impact. BUMP trails preserve access to nature for not only cyclists but other trail users as well. In addition, we promote safe and responsible riding that keeps trails pristine and open while showing respect for other users, the land, and wildlife.

RIDE

BUMP is about celebrating the sport of mountain biking and teaching the sport to others! Our monthly group rides are open to riders of all abilities and give new members a chance to learn from more experienced riders. BUMP members range from the beginner to the expert racer and include people from all walks of life, creeds, races and occupations.We host two cross country mountain bike races each year, one of which, the BUMP ‘N GRIND, is one of the largest mountain bike races in the Southeastern United States, and we work with other promoters to stage other great race events in the area. We have one thing in common though that unites us: a passion for mountain biking that at the end of the day is all about great rides!
