The Young Naturalists Club is an immersive natural history club for youth and families that promotes the appreciation and conservation of nature. We create opportunities to develop natural history skills and knowledge through interactions with adult naturalists and hands-on learning experiences. By getting youth and their families outside and connecting them with members of the adult natural history community, we foster a passion for nature and greater understanding of nature’s value. We believe that positive experiences in nature and a shared excitement about the natural world lead to the development of a life-long conservation ethic.
