Why should you start a protectors of the earth chapter?

---

You care about the environment and so do many other people in your community! By working together, not only can you maximize the strength of your voice, you can also grow and learn from each other! 

By creating a POTE chapter, you gain access to vast resources and technical support from Nature Abounds' staff for project planning and implementation. You will be provided with a chapter welcome packet including guides and resources on how to get maximize the impacts of your projects and engage your members. A portion of membership dues are awarded to the designated chapters of each member to aid with administrative costs and each chapter receives a webpage on our site to advertise events, etc.. 

Through Officer positions and project committees, you have the opportunity to be an Environmental Leader in your community. By leading environmental efforts, you have the ability to foster environmental stewardship in your neighbors and friends. 

There is power in numbers. Through POTE, you have an opportunity to change our planet for the better by restoring biodiversity through a multitude of means including advocacy, education, and restoration projects. 

You've seen the posts on social media about the dire situations facing our planet.  POTE gives you the opportunity to become involved and take action to save our planet! 

Projects can include but are in no way limited to: environmental advocacy campaigns, pollinator habitat restoration, small dam removal projects, community street tree programs, community gardens, educational workshops, and responsible recreation events (leave no trace).
