Creating deep-rooted connections between children and nature only happens thanks to a community of committed individuals.
The largest benefit of an ALNC membership is leaning into a community focused on purposeful interactions between children and nature. Currently, over a third of expenses are covered by donations, including memberships. ALNC receives no annual local government funding, so your support has a real impact on the quality of our programming. Together, our staff and supporters are already a force in our community, subsidizing over $50,000 a year in programming costs for those who need it.
Join us building a community driven to keeping children engaged with nature as a vital part of every day.Together, we can empower ALL to protect, respect, and enjoy the natural world.
