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 think inclusively and diversely when engaging and connecting with our audiences.

Nature Collective collaborates with districts, schools, teachers, and learning leaders to provide inquiry, outdoor, and experiential learning opportunities to students in grades 3-12 grade. 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.
