The Nature Connection operates in the environmental services sector, delivering nature-based programs designed to support the well-being of individuals and communities. Based in Concord, Massachusetts, the organization makes nature experiences accessible to people with limited access to the natural world, including at-risk youth, people with disabilities, and elders. Its approach blends seasonal natural materials, live animals, storytelling, music, and other expressive arts to create therapeutic programming. Staff visit hospitals, residential programs, special needs schools, and nursing homes once or twice a month, bringing educational and therapeutic nature programs to these sites across the Greater Boston area. Since its founding in 1983, the organization has facilitated more than 15,000 direct contacts with its target groups and has extended its reach to over 20,000 individuals nationally and internationally through its award-winning book Bring Me the Ocean. In December 2023, The Nature Connection partnered with the Grand Mesa Nordic Council for a Family Fun Day at County Line.
