Local Nature Lab is committed to nurturing a love for nature and promoting biodiversity conservation.
We partner with organizations and creatives to design education, outreach, and hands-on experiences that support people's relationships with more-than-human nature.
We have been working in the field of nature education and biodiversity monitoring since 2013. We were founded in Washington Square Park in 2013. In 2021 we formally incorporated as Local Nature Lab. We have branched out citywide.
