GIVING TUESDAY 2022
Hello Friends of 4E,
Giving Tuesday is next week (11/29/22) and Indigenous Giving Tuesday starts TODAY!
4 Elements Earth Education is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit on a mission to guide children, families and teens toward a pure connection to the Earth through direct experiences in Nature. Our team of passionate and experienced Instructors, on both East and West Coasts, provide hands-on instruction in the ancient arts of wilderness survival, animal tracking, and nature awareness.
For over 20 years we have been sharing these skills and weaving in the Old Ways of Ancestors through cultivating a solid relationship with Earth Mother. With the teachings passed down from Grandfather Stalking Wolf of the Southern Lipan Apache, the Tracker School and our collaborations with The Tsi Akim Tribe, we continue to evolve our organization to be accountable to the Indigenous Trible Peoples of Turtle Island.

West Coast Programs:
- 4E’s Fox Walkers Programs have been going for 13 years at the Burton Educational Preserve and Pata Panaka Village with the Tsi Akim MaiduTribe in Northern California. Our non-profit corporation is accountable to the Original Indigenous Peoples; 4E is sanctioned by the Tribe as part of our Land Use Agreement to carry out their Traditional Ecological Knowledge through our youth programs.
- 4E on the west coast has contributed much to Land Stewardship, including wildfire suppression, fire ecology, and re-building the ancient village site, Pata Panaka (“Baby Woodpecker”). We hope this site will be a destination for school groups to experience being in a Bark House, listening to stories of our Ancestors, participating in land stewardship projects and invited to ceremonies.
- 4E runs year-round programs in Philadelphia and New Jersey, connecting youth from large urban areas to the inspiring magic of true nature, both in forested city parks and their own concrete-ruled neighborhoods.
- Coyote Tracks Youth Programs are now entirely donation-based! Families unable to make a financial contribution are welcome to participate - no questions asked! This is an imperative step for our organization, opening the door to nature for youth in highly urban and densely populated regions that don't have access to wild spaces.
- Life in the big city is hard; but our programs show the youth of today how to live in harmony with the Earth, so that when it is soon their turn, they won't repeat the mistakes of the past. Help us continue NO COST programming with your tax-deductible donation this Giving Tuesday!
