Local Nature Lab is committed to nurturing a love for nature and promoting biodiversity conservation. We partner with other organizations and creatives to design education, outreach, and hands-on experiences that support people's relationships with non-human nature.
We have been working in the field of nature education and biodiversity monitoring since 2013. Seeded in Washington Square Park, we are branching out throughout the city.
