What is Nature in Your Backyard?
Nature in Your Backyard brings hands-on wildlife education directly to schools and community spaces. Through outdoor, guided exploration, and nature journaling, children learn how native species live alongside them every day - and how they can connect with wildlife right outside their door.
Key Components of Nature in Your Backyard
What happens when students connect with nature?
In one of our Nature in Your Backyard programs, a group of 4th graders came to us drained from hours of testing. Within minutes of stepping outside and sketching a single leaf, their energy transformed — faces lit up, questions poured out, and curiosity came alive. That's the heart of our mission: giving kids simple, joyful moments in nature that spark a lifetime of discovery and care for wildlife.
