Hands on Nature is an educational outdoor nature program available to preschool and elementary school children located in Berlin, MA.
Hands on Nature is a 501c3 nonprofit outdoor educational organization. Our vision is to nurture a deeper relationship between children and the Earth, and to create future stewards of the land. We offer three types of programs: After School Programs, Homeschooling Classes, and Summer Programs.
Our mission at Hands On Nature is to connect children to the natural world through educational hands-on experiences. We believe that children learn best in an outdoor classroom, getting their hands dirty and experiencing nature’s wonders firsthand. Through nature walks and outdoor activities children will learn directly about the local wildlife and plants of New England. We provide a place for children to explore, enjoy, and directly experience the beauty of the natural world.
Building on children’s innate sense of wonder and curiosity, our programs bring children back outdoors and into the woods again. The increasing trend toward more indoor TV and computer time makes our programs vital for children today.
