Teach Outside Competitors

Air, water, food, shelter, income: nature sustains every aspect of our lives. That's why protecting and conserving nature isn't just a matter of common sense. It's the smartest investment we can make. Since our founding in 1951, The Nature Conservancy has harnessed the power of nature to help solve our planet’s most challenging problems. And while the stakes are high, so is our resolve: to create a world where everyone thrives alongside nature for generations to come. We do this by working hand in hand with communities around the world. By committing to a science-based, non-partisan approach that’s stood the test of time. And by bringing people together, from all walks of life, to find common ground in nature.

Wilderness Inquiry connects people of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and abilities to shared outdoor adventures so that all people can equitably experience the benefits of time spent in nature. Through outdoor adventures and programs designed for both individuals and groups, we inspire personal growth, enhanced awareness of the environment, and community belonging.

The Children & Nature Network (C&NN) envisions a world in which all children play, learn and grow with nature in their everyday lives. We are nonprofit organization leading a global movement to increase equitable access to nature so that children and natural places can thrive. We power this movement by investing in leadership and communities through sharing evidence-based resources, scaling innovative solutions and driving policy change.We believe that nature has the power to make children healthier, happier and smarter. But over the last few generations, childhood has moved indoors, leaving kids disconnected from the natural world. This worldwide trend has profound implications for children’s healthy development—and the future of our planet. Please learn more at: http://www.childrenandnature.org
