The Green Up Girl® delivers fun, engaging conservation-based programs to children, teens, and adults. The earth-friendly, adventure-packed activities and events are designed to connect people with rare and endangered animals, both in captivity and in the wild, inspire conservation, and encourage good stewardship of the environment.

The Green Up Girl® travels to schools, summer camps, daycare centers, libraries, home schooling groups, churches, girl & boy scouts, 4-h groups, campgrounds, nursing homes, community and corporate events and private parties. Along with zoos, aquariums, wildlife conservation centers, and more.

Plus, to expand our outreach worldwide, many of our educational events stream live on the Internet so people from around the world can enjoy them from the comfort of their home or any where they have Internet access.

• Zero Waste for Wildlife: About 160 million tons of trash is thrown away yearly in the U.S. alone. That translates to about 3 1/2 lbs per person, per day. Not only is this amount of trash mind boggling, but the trash pollutes our water supply, land, and causes great harm to the animals. For instance; Fishing lines can trap legs, wings, and get wrapped around the neck of birds, broken glass can cut their feet, plus many animals get ensnared by plastic six-pack holders, and the list goes on. This interactive program will share simple ways to get involved in protecting wildlife.
