Helping all people find nature where they live, work, and play.
Our Vision
We envision a network of programs and places that connect people to their environment and each other in ways that lead to sustainable and equitable opportunities, stewardship of our natural ecosystems, and community well-being.

About Us
By building these relationships we will encourage the adoption of an ecological mindset in our community where there is a better understanding of the relationship between our social and environmental systems. Our community’s most pressing challenges can be solved with an approach that considers how everything is connected.
Our strategy for achieving our mission
- Nature based learning in and out of schools
- Community building through nature based programming
- Network cultivation and movement building
