Nature Education Network Incorporated

The Nature Education Network Incorporated Society (previously Natural Phenomena Incorporated Society) has a vision of bringing an all-encompassing outdoor Nature Education Conference together for educators throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand. We are a group of committed volunteers with a variety of skills and interests, all with the underlying passion of the natural world and educating children through nature and exposure to the rough and tumble of outdoor play. Our goal is to inspire and connect as many educators as possible about ways to bring the joy of nature and the outdoors into young children’s lives. After each conference delegates leave feeling inspired and motivated to engage their children and colleagues in the natural world and outdoor play. We believe the message that educators take back to families in their centres is an important one, given the climate of childhood obesity in New Zealand and increasing limitations on children’s outdoor activity.
