One of my favorite organizations that really 'gives back' and sincerely 'passes forward', is the World Wildlife Fund... I posted earlier this year about their May 6th, forty years birthday celebration & the young adventurers of the Trans-Artic Canoe Expedition...
These keen adventurers included: Chris Sledzik, Chase Edgerton, Sam Harrison, Robert Woodhull, Jeremy Harrison, and Alex Harrison...
They all have a passion for adventure and dreamed of an extended wilderness canoe experience across the Canadian tundra... The tundra is a very magical place of solitude, mystery, and where the elements become very much part of our lives...
Their goals involved raising awareness about preserving wild lands, the importance of future conservation efforts, in "leaving a place in better condition than the way it was found", and to raise funds for the WWF as well...
Their journey took them from its beginnings on Great Slave Lake, through the Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary, and was completed at Chantrey Inlet much farther north... Over 1200 kilometers of challenge and adventure...
I followed along with their trip updates from June to early August of this year with real excitement...
As in Moore's image above of a 'Canoe Pointing The Way'... here we have boundless enthusiasm, and real energy & efforts to give back and pass forward in support of the WWF... and especially in the potency of their message...
I hope they enjoy their Summit Stones.....
