Our Mission

Empowering outdoor education through advocacy, training, and community outreach for nature-based schools in California.

A group of children is playing in a lush, tree-filled area by a body of water. One child is climbing a tree, while others are seated or standing nearby. The dense foliage and branches create a canopy overhead, adding to the natural, serene environment.

A group of children walk along a narrow, dirt path surrounded by lush greenery. Several kids are dressed in colorful clothing, with vibrant red and blue shirts standing out among the green foliage. The focus is soft, with the foreground showing a child with curly hair reaching out. The setting conveys a sense of adventure and exploration.

The space features a circular arrangement of wooden stumps and flat stepping stones, suggesting it might be used for gatherings or educational purposes. Benches are positioned around the perimeter, and tall pine trees are visible on the right side.

Community Outreach

Engaging communities through outdoor education and workshops.

A group of children is gathered outdoors with a backdrop of lush green hills and tall pine trees. The sky is partly cloudy, and the weather appears to be calm. There is also some sort of metal structure, possibly a tower, on the right side. The children seem to be holding sticks or poles and are dressed in casual traditional attire.

Nature-Based Training

Providing professional development for educators in outdoor settings.

A group of people, primarily students, are gathered outside in a school setting. They are standing and sitting around blue picnic tables under the open sky and some scattered palm trees. The environment appears relaxed, with students socializing and enjoying the outdoor area. In the background, there are school buildings with white siding and blue accents, along with some trees and grass.
