The Peterson Institute aims at no less an accomplishment than empowering teachers throughout North America to connect our children–the scientists and teachers of the future–to the realities of the natural world around them.

Please support the Peterson Institute’s national leadership program for teacher training in the natural sciences by making a gift to the Peterson Fund. The Fund provides core support for professional workshops, the free Peterson Journal for Teachers, and the award-winning online resource, the Electronic Naturalist.

When you make a gift of $35 or more, you’ll be recognized as an official ‘Friend of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History.’ Please give as generously as you can.
