About

It is our belief that there is severe nature deficit disorder in the world today and it is Earth Angel’s goal to eliminate this one child or adult at a time. With Magical Earth Retreats, Don and Jane May Jones are filling a need, especially for school children to connect with nature and art at the same time. Art programs have been drastically cut from our school system and field trips into nature are virtually non-existent. Children in the inner city have little or no contact with nature. As such they are unable to understand the importance of saving the planet, nor do they understand how we are all connected.

Magical Earth Retreats will bring under privileged, under serviced and inner city children to participate in Magical Earth Adventures, along with the Magical Artistic Experiences, free of charge.

Jane M. Jones is a professional artist as well as an avid gardener and has the natural ability to talk with and show the way of the earth to young and old alike.

Donald D. Jones is a dynamic, fun loving man who adores to capture the imagination of all. He is an author and avid fisherman and understands the ways of the hunter.

Louis Blacow is a good deal of experience working with children in an assortment of programs in Massachusetts and Vermont.

Julie Lineberger is the owner of LineSync Architecture.  She is past Chair of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility and past Council President for The Manitou Project.  She believes strongly in integrating nature into all aspects of life and thought including public policy, architecture, business management, gardening and cooking.

C S Wurzberger – also known as The Green Up Girl, Founder/CEO of aTriptotheZoo.com. Inspiring people to care for the earth and its animals.
