Education in the Environment: Forever Earth and Discover Mojave Outdoor World

Forever Earth is a floating environmental laboratory and learning center at Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The facility includes a customized 70-foot houseboat and a research barge. Forever Earth encourages local youth to participate in hands-on learning activities about the sciences, particularly limnology and water quality, but also other disciplines (e.g., biology, math, physics, and cultural and social sciences). The Forever Earth project was created through a partnership between Fun Country Marine Industries and the Outside Las Vegas Foundation.

Discover Mojave Outdoor World introduces at-risk urban youth, ages 8-16, to outdoor recreation and environmental education. The program’s basis is that outdoor recreation and the environment play an important and positive role in American culture, health, and fitness.
