The New Wilderness Project is co-directed by Maketa Wilborn and Benjie Howard, and is a partnership of educators and artists that focuses on social justice, stewardship for the environment and community development.  Through multimedia performance art and an experientially delivered, integrated curriculum, their work builds awareness of diversity, develops cultural competence and leadership skills, supports equity in teaching and achievement, encourages stewardship for nature, and provides a framework for participants to take creative action.  For additional information about the New Wilderness Project, please visit:  www.nwproject.com.
