The Newton Marasco Foundation (NMF) is a public charity whose mission is to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. We teach youth to preserve and protect their environment through acts of stewardship. We promote and celebrate environmental awareness through education, field work and the arts.
Green Earth Literature Program - Promotes books that inspire children to grow a deeper appreciation, respect and responsibility for their natural environment by getting environmental books into the hands of children and recognizing authors who write about environmental stewardship.
Field It - Inspires and excites the next generation of environmental stewards through programs that give students real-life educational experiences in outdoor environments.
enGAUGE It - Gives high school students the tools to plan and implement a one-day event in their community to educate drivers in their communities about the benefits of keeping tires properly inflated by giving away free tire gauges with special information cards with instructions and tire inflation facts.
Chapman DeMary Trail - Provides students with an outdoor classroom where they learn about and develop an appreciation for the nature that surrounds them—it also serves as a nature park for residents and visitors. The trail is part of the legacy the foundation leaves to future generations.
Environment and the Arts - Fosters appreciation of the beauty and diversity of the environment through the arts and literature.
