The Natural Leaders Network empowers a worldwide youth movement to strengthen the bond between children and nature.

A movement is here. It has arrived and it needs leaders. A legacy lies ready to be written and the ink for that legacy is within the energy of a young diverse generation.

The 2012 Legacy Camp!

Twenty-four young Americans participated in the 2012 Natural Leaders Legacy Camp from August 31 – September 5, 2012 at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, with generous support from The North Face, the REI Foundation, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Dept. of Interior really wants to hear from Natural Leaders and Local Youth in L.A. July 8. Upcoming sessions in Neb. & NC. http://bit.ly/cjO86R

Comment by Suz Lipman on June 16, 2010 at 5:53pm: Have a great time Leslie! It sounds really exciting. Keep us posted.

Comment by Leslie Cook on June 15, 2010 at 8:07am: I'm headed out there and there are about 10 other Natural Leaders joining the bigger group of 500 youth that will be in NYC for the Outdoor Nation Summit. It looks like it will be a great event!

Comment by Suz Lipman on June 15, 2010 at 8:01am: Anyone going to Outdoor Nation in NYC this weekend? It's the Natural Leaders Network Youth Summit Here's more info: http://bit.ly/af5zMZ

Comment by Hanna Pinneo on March 18, 2010 at 5:15pm: Events on the couple of days leading up to and following Natural Leaders Day will be honored as Natural Leaders Day events. We understand that people may have had prior commitments because of Easter. Also, exploring the outdoors with Easter eggs and family is one of the best ways to do it!

Comment by Holly on March 18, 2010 at 3:21pm: Too bad Natural Leaders Day is the day before Easter! I'm already committed with my family and church.

Comment by Matthew H. E. M. Browning on March 17, 2010 at 10:26am: Sorry for the plethora of messages you'all, but Hanna's smarter and more insightful than me! Natural Leaders Day is on April 3rd. Let's plan some great events this year!

Comment by Hanna Pinneo on March 16, 2010 at 9:56pm: Hey all! Natural Leaders Day is actually on April 3rd, so you should do what Matt says a month earlier!

Comment by Suz Lipman on February 9, 2010 at 9:40am: I wanted you all to know that a coalition of outdoor advocacy groups is asking for inclusion of a Nature component in Michelle Obama's new campaign against childhood obesity. Nature and outdoor play need to be a part of this campaign. bit.ly/9Rt67b

Comment by Yasser Ansari on January 16, 2010 at 2:07pm: Howdy folks! I wanted to share a project I'm working on called NOAH. It's a free mobile application that nature lovers can use to explore and document local wildlife and a platform that research groups can use to harness the power of citizen scientists. If you're interested, please check out the NOAH group I set up or our website: http://www.networkedorganisms.org -- I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas. Thanks! Regards, Yasser
