Mission Statement
The Nature Connection is a nonprofit organization that brings nature-based programs to people in need including at-risk youth, people with disabilities, and elders including those with dementia and Alzheimer's. Serving sites throughout the Greater Boston area, we have provided over 24,000 interactions with nature and animals in the last 30 years.
Description
The Nature Connection enables children and elders, many confined to institutions, to have direct contact with the natural world. Transporting live animals, natural materials and the arts, we provide educational and therapeutic programs to at-risk youth, people with disabilities and elders in Concord and Greater Boston. Founded in 1983, the Nature Connection brings individuals together with nature's capacity to heal and to teach.
