Ventana Education Programs

Ventana Education Programs Nature is not something separate from us.

Founded in 1977, Ventana Wildlife Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to conserving native wildlife and their habitats through science, education and collaboration. Ventana Wildlife Society has provided meaningful outdoor and virtual nature experiences to thousands of Monterey County youth, with over 60% of our programs free to underserved communities. We believe access to safe,

nearby nature must be prioritized as critical public health infrastructure and not just an amenity for a privileged few.

“We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.” - Andrew Goldsworthy
