Nature-Based Education Movement


ANBE thrives because of people who believe that children, educators, and communities benefit from meaningful connections with nature. Every contribution makes a difference, and there are many ways to get involved:


WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON

ANBE'S FUTURE

The Association for Nature-Based Education (ANBE) is envisioning a future home in Northern Baltimore County, Maryland. It will be a protected, accessible landscape where educators, children, families, and the natural world grow together.

Our future center is being thoughtfully imagined as a place where teacher learning, community connection, and ecological stewardship come together on conserved land. While this space does not yet exist, the vision is rooted in years of practice, partnership, and deep listening to educators, families, children, and the land.

A FUTURE HOME FOR EDUCATORS

Educators are at the heart of our vision.

ANBE plans to create a professional learning hub where teachers, caregivers, and school leaders can deepen their practice through hands-on training, reflection, and shared inquiry. A lab forest school is envisioned as part of the campus, offering educators the opportunity to learn alongside children in real, living learning environments.

This future site will support learning about:

  • Nature-based education and outdoor teaching practices
  • Place-based learning, environmental literacy, and stewardship
  • Care and relationship in nature-based learning and play
