Special Pricing for Schools and Nature Centers

Earth-cards are available in quantities, at special prices, for your school or nature center. They make excellent teaching aids and gift shop items. 

You can choose the cards to make up a set that’s appropriate for your area. If we don’t offer a card you need, call us. We’ll develop one or more, in consultation with you. New cards are coming out often, so check in at this site to see the latest developments. (Note the hyphen in our name).

We would like to hear your comments on the cards, especially comments about the "fun facts" on the back of the cards. Is there content on certain cards that you think should be changed to something more relevant, or would you like to suggest a better way to express it? What cards would you like to see developed next?
