White Pine Programs

About White Pine Programs

Our nature-based education programs vary from weekly, full day experiences to outdoor learning at schools to hour-long walks in the woods. We served approximately 3,000 people in 2021 from more than 50 different communities. Our location uniquely positions us to reach people from Boston, Massachusetts to Manchester, New Hampshire, to Portland, Maine. Because we believe that a connection to nature develops differently for everyone, we offer accessible programs that incorporate birding, nature skills and nature study in addition to hiking and camping. At the center of all our programs are core nature connection practices such as gratitude, acknowledgement of the land and its original stewards, song, play and nature exploration. Our intention is always to establish a safe and inclusive environment whereby participants are free to be curious, vulnerable and whole-hearted. Our mission is to create shared outdoor experiences that awaken curiosity, build personal resilience, and cultivate caring relationships with self, community, and the natural world. It is our vision to help create and facilitate an inter-generational community that restores empathy and compassion and leads a broad-based movement toward a thriving, sustainable environment for all.
