LEARN ABOUT CREATURES

Participate in building the 'Neighborhood Expansion Pack!'
We are starting an initiative to develop quality outdoor learning experiences for you and your neighborhood. We are looking for little groups of people who live near each other, who would commit to participate in this project with Local Biology from Spring 2009 to Spring 2010.
If you are interested, let us know. More information, and an serious online application, will be available on this site.

© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.
