Who We Are
Wild Education & Conservation is a California-based nonprofit dedicated to connecting people of all ages with the natural world. We believe that time spent outdoors builds stronger individuals, healthier communities, and a more sustainable future.
What Drives Us
Too many people — especially young people — are spending less time in nature than ever before. We're here to change that. Through guided experiences, education programs, and community outreach, we make the outdoors accessible, safe, and meaningful.
Our Core Values
- Access for All — The wilderness belongs to everyone. We work to remove barriers to outdoor participation.
- Education First — Every outing is a learning opportunity. We teach skills that last a lifetime.
- Leave No Trace — We model and practice responsible stewardship of public lands.
- Community — We partner with schools, youth programs, and local organizations to amplify our reach.
- Safety — All guides are trained and certified. Every participant is our responsibility.
Our Goals
We aim to provide guided outdoor experiences, navigation and backpacking education, and structured outdoor education programs to individuals, classrooms, and community groups across California — with a focus on underserved communities and first-time outdoor participants.
