Who is Local Nature Lab?

We are a passionate grassroots environmental nonprofit in New York City, founded by Georgia Silvera Seamans. Our mission has been described as "support[ing] multi-species awareness and design in NYC."

We collaborate with individuals, groups, and various organizations to create and implement enriching nature education programs for New Yorkers of all ages. Our primary focus lies on the study and appreciation of trees and birds. Our programs happen in parks, schools, artist studios, after school programs, and more. Our initiatives are funded through the generosity of individual donors--people like you--and supplemented by grants.
