What is Larn?
Larn (Learning Action Research In Nature), is a youth program working to improve environmental literacy and emergency preparedness. Larn also works to consult education systems by reviewing EE curricula, developing activities, and presenting environmental enrichment outreach.
Larn utilizes an environmental education framework, called the Tscion Research for Environmental Education, Enrichment, and Stewardship. The TREEES framework is designed to provide activities and improve cultural enrichment for students, teachers, and the community’s EE (Environmental Education) literacy, and emergency preparedness.
