Help Kids Learn About Restoring Nature with Seedball Kits

Help Kids Learn About Restoring Nature with Seedball Kits!

At Beyond Terra, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to protecting and restoring natural habitats, increasing biodiversity, and raising awareness about critical environmental issues, we believe that education is at the forefront of progress. We are thrilled to announce our latest initiative - the Seedball Kit Project! Seedballs are a brilliant way to spread seeds, especially in areas that are difficult to plant using traditional methods. These resilient little balls contain a mixture of seeds, clay, and compost that protects the seeds until conditions are ideal for germination.

By dispersing seedballs across degraded lands, we can kickstart the restoration process and breathe new life into ecosystems that have been impacted by factors like deforestation, overgrazing, and climate change. The seedball mixes we'll be using are carefully formulated in-house with our custom substrate formula that was tested to have the highest germination rate among every combination we tested! These seedballs containing native plant species will help stabilize soils, attract pollinators, and create habitats for local wildlife.

We are now expanding our seedball efforts into organizing seedball kits! These innovative educational kits allow kids ages 5-12 to get hands-on experience making seedballs as well as learning about restoring biodiversity in the process. Each kit contains:

- Soil and clay substrate for making seedballs

- A custom mix of plant seeds native to the recipient's state

- Instructional flashcards

- Our own custom Outdoor Learning Activities (https://beyondterra.org/olas)

- Fun facts about the specific seed species included

As kids mold the seedballs, they'll learn about the importance of native plants, seed germination, and practical ways they can help regenerate the natural environment in their own communities.

But we need your support to get these kits into as many classrooms, after-school programs, and summer camps as possible! We're raising funds to produce the seedball kit components and customize each one with localized seeds and educational materials.

Your donation will cover the costs of seeds, soil, clay, compost, storage containers, print materials, and more. It will also help us offer these kits at an affordable price to schools and educational programs locally in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as nationally.

By contributing to this campaign, you can empower the next generation with wonderful hands-on learning experiences and inspire them to become environmental stewards. Every seedball kit has the potential to spark a lifelong passion for nature!

Please give generously and share this campaign widely to help us get seedball kits into kids' hands across America. Together, we can cultivate a society of conservation-minded youth!
