North Shore Land Alliance is committed to nurturing a lifelong love for our natural world by providing nature-based programming year-round for people of all ages. The goal of our educational opportunities is to help current and future generations develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for our natural world, ultimately leading to its protection.

Guided Walks in the Woods

Established in 2007, our Walks in the Woods program are free and designed to guide visitors through our nature preserves and Long Island parks, many of which are off the beaten path, for investigation while educating them about the wildlife and plants that call them home. Participants also gain an understanding and appreciation of local land conservation and its benefits to our food and water supplies and wildlife habitats and its connection to the strength and health of our communities.

“Environmental education is not just about learning facts; it is about developing the skills
to solve the complex problems facing our planet and the passion to see them through.”
