Nature

the Children & Nature Network, and
has been brought to life through partnerships
with The Nature Conservancy, REI, the
American Camp Association, and the Flora
Family Foundation all of whom provide
funding and/or in-kind support.
ACA
has collaborated with Hooked on Nature
to bring Nature Circle Cards to campers,
camp staff, and parents.
Hooked On Nature provides resources, workshops,
and training to inspire and empower people
to develop joyful, loving, lifelong relationships — with
each other and the natural world.
Nature Circles and the 52 Ways to Fall
in Love with the Earth blog were designed
by Hooked On Nature to bring people and
nature together. The circles are like outdoor
book clubs where people get together and
instead of talking about a book,
they ‘read’ the book of nature
and share their experiences of the natural
world.
Nature
Circle Cards are a "take it
with you resource" that makes it
easy for anyone, anywhere to create a
circle experience for friends, family,
neighbors, and co-workers.
