We exist to drive a passion for nature, for all, where everyone connects with, experiences and protects nature. Founded in 1987, Nature Collective is a leader in conservation, land preservation, and environmental education in San Diego County. We strive to boost environmental and science literacy through meaningful, equitable, and ongoing student engagements in nature settings, as well as in the schoolyard and classroom. Through our programs, students connect with local natural spaces, experience and develop science skills, and become empowered to protect and care for the environment within and beyond their own communities.

To inspire a lifelong love, curiosity and appreciation for the outdoor world, that leads to advocacy and care for our environment, landscapes and wildlife. We believe that engagement and meaningful connection with the outdoor world contributes to healthy emotional, physical and intellectual growth. Nature Detectives is a weekly engaging hands on and inquiry-based learning program combining literacy, the arts, science and field-based discovery. Kindergarten through third grade students can explore at home, school, or neighborhood . The program is arranged into three 8-week seasonally themed sessions (fall, winter, spring).

To ignite life-long curiosity, understanding, and respect for nature through education.
