Good Natured Learning
Growing nature-connected schools, an apple a day
Our website is undergoing an update; check out our strategic plan & impact framework.
Our vision
Every student and every teacher in every classroom on the planet connects with nature, just by going to school.
Our Mission
Equip teachers in schools to teach with nature.
Our
Core
Beliefs
We approach all our work with these most deeply held principles.
Nature-based learning is for EVERYONE.
Nature-based learning is for EVERY teacher, EVERY student, EVERY school, EVERYwhere. It just looks different depending on with whom and where it is happening.
Teachers are experts.
We trust teachers. We know that they know their students, their curriculum, their context, and their community. From this starting point, we empower teachers with universal principles and practices to create nature connections that are relevant and customized to their local realities.
Change happens when individuals take a next right step.
Once you take a first right step, you can take another, and the next, and the next. Together, we can change education one step at a time.
Our work must be a lift not a burden.
We believe in joy. We design our work to buoy teachers rather than saddling them with one more thing.
Our Solution
We equip educators in schools to embed bite-sized, sustainable, "apple-a-day" nature connections into the way they teach.
