The Wildwood Acres Education Foundation a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to nature-based, community-centered educational experiences for children and families.

Through need-based tuition assistance, the development of strong financial reserves, and strategic investment in enduring educational infrastructure, we work to ensure that these programs remain both inclusive and resilient.

We believe that education rooted in nature fosters capable, grounded, and curious children—and that this model of learning deserves both protection and long-term support.
