Art is an effective motivator of environmental advocacy, helping develop a unique sense of unity with and protectiveness over the environment through observation and creation. 15 Minute Field Trips harnesses this philosophy in its virtual and in-person workshops, designed to instill in students, youth groups, and families an appreciation for the outdoors, and empower them as environmental activists.
