GreenKids is a grant-funded educational outreach program of the Audubon Naturalist Society. GreenKids provides participating public schools with two years of free resources and field experiences to foster watershed stewardship and environmental literacy while meeting established curriculum goals. GreenKids operates in partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland and Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia. The GreenKids Network provides continuing support to alumni schools upon completion of the two-year GreenKids partnership.
