The Gatherer Institute has helped many, many kids since it's founding in 2002 and also provided Native American storytelling workshops to inspire us all to be better caretakers of the Earth. In addition to planting thousands of trees, it has also been instrumental in preserving 88 acres of forest woodland from predatory real estate builders. In 2007, I helped The Gatherer Institute organize its first NJ Walkabout whereby students were sponsored by local businesses to walk a 200 mile loop to plant 1000 trees for the seven generations to come. In addition to receiving public recognition from the Governor's office of NJ, the Gatherer Institute was also officially endorsed by soon-to-be-President, Barak Obama. Needless to say the Walkabout was a tremendous success and I have continued to work on a number of projects with Native American storyteller Kenneth Little Hawk to raise awareness about caring for the earth. Our current project in 2014 is a film about Little Hawk visiting a 40,000 year old Aboriginal tribe in Australia. The film is called One Heart - One Spirit.
