Welcome to NIYN

There are many, many things that can keep nature enthusiasts from fulfilling their own expectations in nature education. We encourage you to soak up nature wherever and whenever you can. For all the moments or days when you cannot, we hope to provide resources to support you, wherever you may be.

Maybe you’re a nanny, a parent, or a teacher. Maybe you’re trying to get outside more. Maybe you’re excited about warm puddles to come but stuck in another stretch of False Spring. Maybe your passion for the outdoors is limited by the sleep and feeding schedule of an infant. Maybe you’re limited by classroom scheduling, sterile playgrounds, or apartment living. Our struggles matter, and the small efforts that we make to bridge these gaps shine through in the lives of children.
