Your support is critical to providing these programs! $700/program leaves group homes, memory care units, and day programs unable to fund additional activities for the rest of the month. That’s why The Nature Connection offers a sliding scale fee, making sure our programs reach those who need them most.
Your generosity helps cover the costs that these facilities simply cannot afford. Without your support, there is no nature program. Last year, thanks to people like you, The Nature Connection delivered 336 programs to 987 individuals!
