Welcome to Nearby Nature!
We're really enjoying spring at Nearby Nature this year! So what are we up to? The most exciting thing on our current to-do list is taking 1,600+ K-5th graders on nature walks in Alton Baker Park. What fun we're having as we learn and play in nature with these kids! Thanks so much to the 3o volunteers who are helping out with this program. In other fun planning news, we're getting ready for SUMMER 
About Nearby Nature: Nearby Nature is a non-profit education organization based in Eugene, Oregon. Our staff and volunteers lead nature walks, teach SUMMER DAYCAMPS,
host school programs, sponsor special events, teach adult workshops, and work on environmental restoration projects, primarily in the Whilamut Natural Area of Alton Baker Park. Nearby Nature also serves as the City of Eugene's official Park Host in Alton Baker Park, maintains an educational Learnscape on the grounds of the
Alton Baker Park Host Residence, and is a partner in the Network Charter School.Nearby Nature was established in 1992 by a group of inspired local naturalists and educators. Why? Because these folks knew something important. People of all ages, from the tiniest tots to the wisest elders, thrive when they connect with nature nearby. Since 1992, Nearby Nature's staff and volunteers have served tens of thousands of local children, adults, families, and teachers. We have also worked with thousands of volunteers and numerous community organizations.
We look forward to having YOU as part of our Nearby Nature
