For educators, organizations and individuals interested in working to inspire a love for learning and connection to the natural world through the arts.

Mission

Our mission is to inspire a love for learning and connect young hearts and minds to the natural world through the arts.

Vision

Our vision is to provide materials and learning environments, both in person and online, that promote high-quality standards of inquiry, exploration, experimentation and inspired pursuits. The Wild Arts Learning curriculum is materials-focused and nurtures students toward a sense of place while learning the natural materials around them. This leads to an understanding of personal responsibility and purpose in stewarding environments.

Values

The gauge by which we measure all decisions is, "How can we best serve where we are?" We continually work to be better stewards of our land and people and make better contributions in our communities.

We offer our teacher training programs as both distance learning and

in-person opportunities. Our in-person trainings are held in Springfield, MO in the US.
