Founded in 2022, the Wild Wonder Foundation is dedicated to encouraging nature connection and conservation through attention, curiosity, art, science, and community.

We strive to make nature and nature journaling accessible to everyone by sponsoring the annual Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference as well as other events, educational workshops, field trips, teacher trainings, retreats, exhibits, grants, and other activities and projects in support of our mission.

We are committed to inclusivity, respect, and equal opportunity for everyone as we nurture and celebrate a diverse, global community of nature journalers. We strive to make events and resources free and/or low cost, and we offer scholarships for those who face economic barriers, underrepresentation, and/or historic marginalization.

The birth of this foundation is a direct result of the 40+ years of dedicated work by award-winning author, educator, scientist, and artist John Muir Laws, a.k.a. Jack. He has created, nurtured, and grown a diverse, worldwide nature journaling community through his great generosity, inspired teaching, and boundless energy and joy.
