Nature can calm us and reconnect us with ourselves, with other people and with the world around us. Sign up to get regular updates and get more involved in all of our work.
Right now, people across the country are turning to the outdoors and nature as a refuge. Nature can calm us and reconnect us with ourselves, with other people and with the world around us. As people are practicing social distancing, with and without kids at home, we want to provide opportunities to connect with the natural world and other like-minded people through engaging events, fun activities and helpful guides to help foster this connection.
