How to keep teens engaged in family environmental projects

My teenage kids were initially excited about our family's rewilding project, but now they roll their eyes whenever I mention habitat restoration and I suspect they see it as just another way their weird parents are embarrassing them. We used to have such good conversations during our weekend trail maintenance, and now they're silent or make sarcastic comments.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The children have grown into an age where parental passions become potential sources of shame rather than shared meaning.
