Who we are 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 Nature Education Conference, 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.

We are a dedicated team of parents and educators, volunteering much of our time to support the Nature Education Conference.

The event is an outdoor in nature experience for all educators and parents inspired by the natural world and passionate to explore how nature can be such a powerful teacher. Many national & international delegates return each year to bathe in the beauty & wonders of learning from nature.

The conference is located on a working farm called Redwood Valley Farm – there are many beautiful bush tracks with an amazing stream running through the property. The space is pure magic, which invokes inspiration, awe and wonder and reminds us of these key aspects of childhood. 

Come share the inspiration and joy of being amongst this beauty whilst extending your learning. 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.

An awesome inspirational thought-provoking environment where like-minded people have come together as a group to learn and to make a difference.
