For over 30 years, Nature Net connected children, families, and educators across south central Wisconsin to hands-on nature experiences through a network of nature centers, parks, museums, and gardens. That work now continues and expands through Nature Everywhere, Madison Region, a regional initiative led by the Aldo Leopold Nature Center and powered by a coalition of community partners.

Building on Nature Net’s legacy of collaboration, Nature Everywhere strengthens community engagement, connects libraries to nature experiences, and supports schools and educators in bringing nature play and outdoor learning into children’s everyday lives.
