Nature Vision Nature Vision is an environmental education nonprofit organization. Nature Vision gives students the science and tools to take action and be good stewards.

As an environmental education nonprofit (501c3), Nature Vision brings place-based, experiential nature programming to over 70,000 Pre-K through 12th grade students each year in King and Snohomish Counties. By bringing our programs directly to schools and local greenspaces, we work to ensure that all students receive quality nature connections where they need them the most. What makes our programs so impactful? They are:
•aligned with Washington State K-12 learning standards to support students on their STEM education journeys
•integrate the latest scientific information
•anchored in details about local ecosystem for maximal relevancy
•often include environmental stewardship and community science projects
•help students discover every-day actions they can take in their homes and communities to connect with and preserve nature


The students we serve come from diverse backgrounds: one in three are eligible for free or reduced price meals and one in five are English-language learners. Nature Vision’s programming results in significant student gains in scientific knowledge, including every-day actions students and their communities can take to help our local ecosystems. We are proud to be educating and inspiring a new generation of environmental stewards and community scientists.

Its official; school has started up again! We are ecstatic to have our preschoolers back in the park so we can learn and grow together. They are already making friends and getting used to the space. The game "What time is it Mr. Fox?" was definitely a highlight for these girls. "Duck, Duck Goose" was also a big hit. What was your favorite game as a kid?

Nature Vision’s Blue Teams is looking forward to another great year! Last year we made so many wonderful memories and educated the minds of so many bright students about nature. We had a total of 54 Blue Teams with 1246 students in varying grades. Within our Blue Teams we traveled to 10 different restoration and community science location spots where students experienced place-based learning in the community they live in. With the help of 40 teachers, students conducted 7476 hours of community science collecting data to help real scientists. Preparing now for the 2026-2027 school year! We can’t wait to see new Blue Team students go out and see what changes they can make within their local ecosystem!

We had an incredible summer at Farrel-McWhirter and Hamlin Parks! Our campers got to experience the outdoors while learning all about science, art, and storytelling. From building bug hotels, to investigating owl pellets, to removing invasive plants, campers discovered the forest in a whole new way. As we head into the start of the school year, we’re happy to look back all the fun we had and learning we did together!
