Exposure to nature decreases anxiety, depression, and negative rumination; while at the same time increasing well being, and creative thinking. People with disabilities usually don't have the same access to nature and environmental education as the general public.

We design each program to fit the needs of the individual group, sometimes using educational naturalists or nature programs.

The ultimate goal is self reliance, having gained the knowledge and confidence to enjoy nature on their own.
