Ohio Nature Education
Ohio Nature Education is a private non-profit volunteer organization which provides a home for over forty wild animals that can no longer live in the wild. We incorporate these animals into environmental education programs for people of all ages. Our customers include schools, Scout troops, libraries, garden clubs, senior centers, metro parks, and community centers. Our programs include live education animals and collections of study skins, nests, and other natural materials useful as aids in learning about nature. We are able to utilize different formats for our programs— both in-person and virtual— and can customize for groups of any size and age range.
We need nature.
Mission statement: We are committed to creating an awareness of and appreciation for Ohio’s natural habitat and wildlife by offering informative and entertaining education opportunities to people of all ages. Our hope is to instill in each person a sense of conservation and stewardship for our natural world.
Vision statement: Our goal is to educate our audience members that how we live our lives affects wildlife and to encourage them to impact wildlife in a positive way. We need nature!
