ABOUT NATURE PLACES

The world's wild places survive because people choose to protect them.
Every nature place has a story. Behind the trails, wetlands, forests, and habitats are people who gave their time, energy, money, and imagination to protect something they believed mattered. Nature Places tells those stories and invites more people to discover the places they made possible.
We believe attention is worth something. A moment of curiosity can become a volunteer afternoon, a membership, a Saturday spent outside instead of in front of a screen.
Every week, we tell the stories of these places.

Short videos that give you a first look at a place, its habitat, and the people who protect it.
