WILD BY NATURE, Inc. is dedicated to environmental education for schoolchildren and their teachers. Our logo depicts the humble little field mouse gnawing on the net that has entrapped a lion. The mouse represents each one of us, and our motto “One Person Can Make a Difference” reminds us that although we are small, our contribution is great. Every child and every schoolteacher should carry this knowledge into the classroom and out in the field.
WILD BY NATURE aspires to raise suburban consciousness through classroom education and learning on location. Our mission is to educate, empower, and inspire schoolchildren and their teachers to celebrate their local neighborhood endangered species. Visit our web album to see the work of the Mira Mesa High School Ecology Club.
WILD BY NATURE embraces the need to expand eco-tourism through eco-education in remote areas and tribal lands. Attracting a new eco-tourism population to hard-to-reach areas will preserve and enhance the native habitat while stimulating the local economy. It is our goal to model community sustainability based in preserving the integrity of local culture, history, and natural
treasures. By engaging small towns and tribes to present their local environment in an erudite format, the result will bolster respect for ancient knowledge and the oral tradition. The proven success of our Eco-Education Models sets an example for small towns and tribes that search for an alternative to industry and gaming.
WILD BY NATURE has projects presented on the Environmental Education page, including a drop-down to our Eco-Education Models for an Environmental Education Retreat and an Indigenous California Baja Cruise, our Vernal Pools Project, and our Meadows Project. The Meadows Project features the benefits of letting Nature reclaim landscaped areas. On that page you will find links and photos of Suburban Meadows and Urban Meadows. Our Links page presents Professional Links and Academic Links. The Academic Links feature curriculum suggestions with an Environmental Education Reading List and California State Educational Standards. Many of our links are specifically for schoolchildren. Visit our Gallery for various photo albums highlighting our projects, models, and ecology clubs. You will especially like our Karuk Fire Tale, the ancient tribal tale of how People got Fire. Read the story as told by tribal member Mary Ike in 1940.
