Why Nature Planning?
Nature is a many billion year old treasure chest of ideal practical solutions to
every problem. She has had eons of practice in accomplishing the most with
the least effort. Therefore, Mother Nature can be a great resource in these
difficult and challenging times if we will only look deeply into her patterns and
processes.

At the bottom of nature's treasure chest are a collection of universal principles
of creative action that govern the growth and transformation of every human
activity and all life. The careful use of these principles in the design of diverse
initiatives for the common good is the work of the Nature Planning Network.
The Nature Planning Network
The Nature Planning Network is an international collaborative association formed for the
purpose of discovering and sharing nature's wisdom and learning together how to apply that
wisdom to contemporary challenges in our world. We employ nature's powerful principles and
elegant solutions to address the problems faced by individuals, communities and organizations
of all kinds.

The mission of the Nature Planning Network is threefold:
  1. To acquaint individuals and organizations with nature's organic tool kit - the patterns,
    processes and structures found throughout the natural world which we can use to
    enhance our lives, our work and the world around us;
  2. to create an interactive network of like-minded people who are working together to
    transform our everyday efforts so that they will be aligned with nature's wisdom and
    her blueprints for success. We believe that this work can eventually resolve the local,
    national and global crises which threaten all life on this planet;
  3. to connect and support members in a variety of ways, including newsletters,
    conferences, shared interest/action areas, online chat groups and one-on-one mentoring
    with Network founders and partners.

Social planning and design, health, community leadership
and business are just a few of the areas in which the Nature
Planning principles have been applied successfully by
leaders in those fields. Detailed examples of these
achievements will be available on this website and in our
newsletters in coming months.
