We have to let children touch nature, because that which is not touched is unloved. - Emma Marris.
We believe in the power of Nature Led Learning. Through curiosity, engaging the senses and responsible stewardship for the natural world, we open up the possibility to organically learn- about nature and our own well-being. We aspire to grow a community of individuals- teens, children and their grown-ups- with a renewed sense of belonging to the natural world.

My name is Kourtney Vogel. I’ve loved spending time in nature my whole life. I take my two adventurous sons on journeys through the same forests, trails and creek sides I roamed as a child. I’m a homeschool mom and a life-long learner myself! In my free time, I'm a chalk muralist, gardener, baker and I love to ride mountain bikes. My favorite nature finds are 4-leaf clovers, heart shaped rocks and rocks with holes in them.

Hello, I am Jessica Huddleston. I’m married and have two amazing daughters. I’ve lived in the Ozarks all my life. Some of my favorite memories have been made while boating and camping with my family. I enjoy collecting cool rocks on hiking trips, horse back riding, knitting/crotcheting and have a garden in my back yard that I love to take care of.
