The mission of the Nature Planning Network is twofold:
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.
To create an interactive network of like-minded people working together to transform our
everyday efforts so they will align with nature's wisdom and her blueprints for success. We
believe this work can eventually help resolve local, national and global crises which threaten
all life on this planet.
What are the benefits of joining the Network?
Here are a few of the benefits you can experience by becoming part of this new collaborative
venture:
  • build long-term friendships with others who are engaged in visionary work;
  • create a new or enhanced identity for your enterprise which will both generate higher
    profits and be aligned with the greater good of those who you serve and of the
    environment;
  • deepen your insight into nature's wisdom through a study of her principles, processes
    and structures;
  • identify a new niche for your future livelihood and success;
  • exchange ideas and best practices with other members;
  • pursue specialized research/writing in areas of interest with help and feedback from
    other members; and
  • utilize the Nature Planning Network website to share your work with a wider audience.
What kind of learning can I expect if I join the Network?

    design tools that both mirror and build upon nature's growth structures and processes.
