Welcome to Wild Earth

Our mission is to create, offer and support learning experiences in nature that are educational, inspiring, safe and fun.

About Wild Earth: Wild Earth is a not-for-profit nature-based learning organization located in the Shawangunk Ridge region in the Hudson Valley of New York State. Wild Earth is currently managed by community members whose intention is to foster awareness and a deeper connection to the earth. Members of Wild Earth have been involved in wilderness education in the region since 2001.

About Wild Earth Programs: Wild Earth programs draw on teachings offered by native cultures and modern natural sciences. The programs utilize adventure, hands-on use of primitive skills, fun and games, and story and song to create opportunities that explore our natural surroundings while also finding the joy in learning.
