As kids, it was alway so easy for us to spend time outdoors – to go barefoot in the grass, to play in the mud and to explore the wilderness. Why is it that as we get older, we find ourselves struggling to find the time to do the things we once loved?!? As adults, we get caught up in our everyday hustle and bustle, but our kids deserve the opportunity to get out and experience the laughter and carefree fun that we once cherished. Make the time! It's worth it – and nature is much closer than you might think!

Giveaway dates:   1/6/14-1/20/14 Prize: One lucky winner will receive a Dinosaur Train: Buddy & The Nature Trackers Book! Details: Open to US residents, 18+ GOOD LUCK! Hosted by: Queen of Savings , Dividing by Zero , Baltimore Mom & Raymichelle

See Our Barred Owl in Action! VIEW THIS EMAIL IN YOUR WEB BROWSER Dear Irvine Friend, Last week, Irvine Environmental Educator Valerie Barbare used a live barred owl as a tool to make the food chain come alive for kids at the Green School of Baltimore. The students stood inches away from the owl and learned firsthand how owls find their prey.  Next, second graders dissected owl pellets, and you can bet they’ll always remember what owls eat! This hands-on science education is Irvine's trademark. Irvine has a donor who believes that this kind of education works and will match your gift 1:1. So your gift of $25 will mean $50 to us , which is enough to buy materials for a handful of students to be scientists firsthand! You have until December 31, 2013 to help make science come alive for Baltimore students. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a tax deductible donation right now . ...
