Regional Nature Groups

Indiana has many dedicated groups at a regional level dedicated to helping families get outside. Most are organized on social media, such as Facebook, with many hosted events, a place to ask questions, and a way to connect with others getting outside. Each group is locally hosted by volunteers, with unique guidelines and opportunities. While these groups are not officially connected to Indiana Children and Nature Network, they share a similar mission and vision of getting children outside. Know of other family nature groups in the area? Please email us with details at [email protected].  Thank you! We hope to see this movement grow!
