The Wild Woods
Who we are
The Natural Phenomena Incorporated Society (Charitable Trust) came together in 2009 with a vision of bringing an all-encompassing outdoor Nature Education Conference together for Early Childhood Educators, Teachers and Parents throughout New Zealand.
We are a group of committed volunteers with a variety of skills and interests but all with the underlying passion of the natural world and educating children through nature.
In 2013 we became the Nature Education Network, reflecting the incorporation of extra activities in the Nature Education field.
Our main focus continues to be The Natural Phenomena, a heartfelt weekend conference held in the outdoors for anyone who has an interest in connecting children with nature and making a difference in young people’s lives.
