Our aim is to build community and inspire wonder through nature to promote mental health, social connection, and a deeper bond between people and the natural world.

Primarily working with youth in therapeutic schools & residential settings, day centers for adults and seniors with disabilities and/or medical care needs, and memory care units for elders with dementia/Alzheimer’s; The Nature Connection supports the human spirit by brining nature to those who need it most.
