What We Do
Three Program Areas. One Shared Mission.
Grounded by Nature Foundation creates opportunities for people to reconnect with nature, animals, and their communities. We are beginning with practical programs that can grow responsibly as our resources and partnerships develop.
Program Area 1
Nature & Outdoor Wellness
Reconnect. Explore. Grow.
Our nature-based programs encourage people to get outdoors, observe the world around them, build confidence, and strengthen their connection with nature. These experiences are designed to welcome individuals, youth, families, veterans, and community groups.
