Mission
Vision
Naturally Wild LLC empowers Black-identifying individuals and people of color to explore and engage with the wildlife and natural spaces in their neighborhoods. Through immersive experiences like bird-watching, nature walks, and workshops, we inspire people to care for the environment while nurturing the wildness within themselves. We encourage participants to come as they are, embracing their full identities as they connect with nature, build community, discover a deeper sense of self, love for science, and care for the environment.
To create a world where Black individuals and people of color reconnect with and care for the wildness around and within them, finding strength and belonging in nature’s spaces. We envision vibrant communities that embrace their natural surroundings, cultivate self-acceptance, and foster deep connections with wildlife, local ecosystems, and each other.
