Education for Nature

Together for Nature recognizes that historically sustainability efforts and education across the nation have not been inclusive to all groups. Sustainability education is important to understand our environmental and social conditions and to develop equitable and sustainable solutions. For that reason, we plan programming on sustainability and environmental topics that are culturally sensitive and for children of all ages and adults. We can facilitate a workshop for any organization, community group, or friend group.

Community for Nature

TFN works in  partnership  to organize sustainability and  nature events for youth and the broader community to learn how to improve their social and environmental interconnections and impacts. Through conservation, restoration, and recreation events, we share skills for advancing nature-based solutions that include native plant landscaping, watershed restoration and others.  We conduct the activities alongside our long-term community partners by leveraging our diverse skills and resources and supporting each other.
