INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS
ABOUT US
IslandWood is an environmental education nonprofit working to ensure every child in the state of Washington — especially those attending under-resourced schools — has access to meaningful nature-based learning. From our overnight program on Bainbridge Island to hands-on learning at public parks, watersheds, wastewater treatment plants, and schoolyards across the Puget Sound, we’re opening hearts and minds to the wonder of the natural world.
SUPPORT OUTDOOR LEARNING
We remain as committed as ever to serving students and schools with the highest financial need through scholarship funding. Without those scholarships, many children in the region would miss out on outdoor learning experiences. Donor support is essential to continuing to serve the 50 school districts and 25,000 students a year that have come to depend on IslandWood.

Since our founding, IslandWood has provided children over two million hours spent learning in nature. And counting!
REACHING 35,000+ PEOPLE IN OUR REGION A YEAR
