What's new with Nature's Academy

Manatee County Celebrates "Dana Pounds Day!"

Dana DayThe story and efforts of Dana Pounds, marine biologist, Executive Director and co-Founder of Nature’s Academy, will be celebrated this month in Manatee County, Florida.  The Manatee County Board of Commissioners adopted the proclamation that April 20, 2013, shall be designated as Dana Pounds Day.  Manatee County honors Dana for her exceptional contributions to the local community and environment, as well as the inspiration she engenders in the minds of local school children and community members.

 Our Executive Director named a Community Hero!

DP Community Hero MedThe Tampa Bay Lightning Foundation honored our Executive Director, Dana Pounds, as a Community Hero! Dana accepted $50,000 from the Lightning Foundation, designating portions to Nature’s Academy, as well as the Sustany Foundation. This award, plus community partnerships with Manatee County Parks and Recreation and Pope Golf, LLC, helps support the Island Adventures and Organic Earth Projects in Manatee County. Both projects deliver inquiry-based, outdoor field trip programs at no cost to local fourth and fifth grade students. Recognizing that over 50% of Manatee fifth graders are not proficient in science and the significant correlation between improved academic achievement and outdoor experiential learning, we aim to deliver free field trip programs to Manatee County schools, district-wide, by 2020.
