Time in nature has the power to restore personal energy, creativity, focus and a sense of belonging. This online course will help you develop a strong nature practice in your own life.

Each lesson tees up an assignment that will help you experience nature through a variety of hands-on projects.

The course is designed for adults in all stages of life and with all ability levels. Whether you want to stay close to home and tend a container garden or travel the world to experience more of its natural beauty, it will help you set your own Personal Nature Project goals.
