HOWL Nature Company's mission is to provide every child with positive experiences in nature's wild classroom, the fields and forests. While nurturing children's curiosity and building connections with nature, we will cultivate a generation of stewards committed to protecting our earth.

Help HOWL achieve this mission in Northwest Michigan through summer camps, after school programs, classroom fieldtrips, teacher professional development, and homeschool programs.

Every dollar raised through the Back to Our Roots campaign goes directly toward rebuilding HOWL from the ground up. Funds will support scholarships so that every child has access to our summer camp and afterschool programs, because all children need time in nature for a healthy and happy childhood.

Our scholarship fund and program development fund need support after being in hibernation for so long! To learn more about our previous work in California and Tanzania, please visit www.explorehowl.org. We are in the midst of creating a new updated website for HOWL Nature Company.

$25 🌱 Seedling: You remember the moment nature first grabbed you- a creek, a trail, a night under the stars. This gift gives a child that moment.

$50 🪨 Soil: Good soil is essential. Like you, it asks for no recognition, it just makes everything possible. You are the foundation that HOWL needs to start growing.

🌳Tree Planted for gifts of $100 + 🌳

$100 🌿 Sapling A Sugar Maple. A White Birch. A White Pine. We'll put one in the ground in your name this Spring, because the best gifts will continue to grow. So do the curious, connected young stewards you're helping us reach.

$250🌳 Deep Roots: Michigan winters are no joke. But a tree with deep roots doesn't just survive, it thrives. Your gift gives HOWL that same resilience, and helps us cultivate a generation of young people committed to protecting this earth.

$500🌲 Old Growth: The redwoods where HOWL began are hundreds of years old. They didn't grow overnight, and neither does a generation of stewards. You are investing in something these children will feel and know for a long time.

$1,000+🏕️ Canopy: The canopy protects everything beneath it — the saplings, the forest floor, the whole living system. At this level, you shelter HOWL's mission, our educators, and every child whose curiosity is waiting to be met by a field or a forest.
