The financial disparities that keep certain groups of people from having equal opportunities is particularly stark in the fields of environmental education, science, and conservation. TCNA is committed to doing their best to ensure that more people who desire it may attend their programs and trainings. To this end, they have recently created a fund dedicated to helping make access to our programs more possible, especially for these historically marginalized communities.
