Green Spiral Tours fills a niche
by offering unique and
off-the-beaten path adventures
in the Saint Louis area,
typically with a green
or sustainable theme.
¤
¤
Tours spiral the calendar,
are offered about once a month,
and families are invited directly by email
¤
¤
A $10/family contribution is
sometimes requested,
but not always.
¤
After each trip,
a blog is published to debrief the trip,
so that other busy families can follow
at their own pace,
and on their own schedule.
¤
¤
We also publish
adventure maps,
which are easier and faster to digest
than the blog.
¤
¤
Each map comes with a
“Journey Guide”
which tells you where to park,
what to look for,
and big picture context
that is difficult to obtain
from the internet.
The Adventure Maps
are sold in book collections
on Amazon.com.
¤
¤
You can also download maps
from the Green Spiral Tours
Facebook Page.
¤
If you are an institution
looking to partner for grant funding,
know that you have found
the original
family nature club
in Saint Louis.
We ask for 1%
of your grant funding
in exchange for
real feedback
from real families.
¤
¤
We also make money by creating
original adventure maps,
charging about
$250 per map
(We keep the copyright,
but you use it as you wish.)

one of the Green Spiral Nature Guides,
And below is Jessie Hoagland,
founder of Green Spiral Tours.
¤
¤
If you have a high school
or college student
who is interested in animals and nature,
we have summer internships.
The job of the intern is to
field-test new maps.

Jzika, It’s Ali Shapiro, author of the Roots of Going Green. You left an Amazon review of my book. Thanks for reading, your enthusiasm and commitment to sustainability. I’m so inspired by your work. Thanks for keeping the conversation going!

I highly recommend that readers check out Ali Shapiro’s book “Roots of Going Green”. It is a thin, quick read but contains a depth of understanding. Along with a few books coming out from the Bioneers, it should be on every serious educator’s bookshelf.
