Nature Vision

Nature Vision fosters appreciation and stewardship of our environment by educating and connecting community to the world around us. We envision an inspired and connected culture where everyone makes choices for a sustainable future. Nature Vision is an environmental education nonprofit organization that brings place based, experiential nature programming directly to schools and local greenspaces. We work to ensure that all students receive quality nature connections where they need them the most. Nature Vision serves over 65,000 Pre-K through 12th grade students each year in King and Snohomish Counties. Our programming supports the Washington State K-12 Learning Standards and STEM Education and can be easily integrated into schools. Many of our lessons set conceptual foundations and repeat visits help connect one lesson with another. Nature Vision facilitates student access to nature and scientific concepts, thus developing a deep-rooted student interest in making the natural world a necessary and integrated part of daily life. Nature Vision was originally the King County Nature Connections program. In 2003 when budget cuts eliminated the county program, dedicated staff transformed the program into a non-profit organization (501c3).
