NatureHood has been going strong for over 3 years, helping urban residents, particularly children, connect with the outdoors and discover nature through activities built on celebration, education, stewardship, and nature observation.

As we celebrate our previous 80 years of caring about nature, let’s also celebrate our NatureHood and our very youngest nature enthusiasts!

407 school classes have participated in NatureHood class presentations and excursions, including trips to Migratory Bird Sanctuaries and National Wildlife Areas.

1000’s of species spotted and countless memories made!
