Since 2012, Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s Color of Nature initiative has trained and employed students from the Lehigh Valley’s diverse, urban communities to be conservation leaders. Through partnerships, Color of Nature interns lead bilingual education and recreation programs and assist with conservation projects throughout the region. As the Color of Nature initiative has grown and matured over the past several years, LGNC has identified the need to train new leaders and to formalize the program. Lehigh Valley Greenways funding has allowed LGNC to train four new interns, create program branding, and assemble internship training kits.
