PARTNERSHIPS

Now more than ever,

we need nature and

nature needs YOU! 

Partner with Wild Bear Nature Center to inspire a lifelong connection to nature and community through creative exploration of the outdoors. 

Wild Bear connects children to nature which is more critical now than ever, as research shows children spend on average 7 minutes per day in unstructured outdoor play. Partnerships support Wild Bear’s year-round programs, which have served the community over the last 28 years, as well as our growing organization as we build our permanent home – a new 8,500 sq. ft net zero nature center sitting on 5 acres in Nederland, scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.
