Growing something meaningful. Our foundation and first programs are in development.
Follow our beginningsOUR MISSION
The outdoors is
a living classroom.
A bird call. A track in the mud. A creek full of questions. Small discoveries can spark a lifelong connection to nature.
Wild Horizons Foundation is being formed to bring wildlife, habitat, and conservation education to school-age children. We’re developing hands-on learning experiences on privately owned land in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Our aim is simple: help children understand the living world around them—and learn how to care for it.
Meet the people behind the missionWAYS TO DISCOVER
Big learning.
Open skies.
Three ways to take learning beyond the classroom. Each is being developed around exploration, observation, and care for the natural world.
PLANNED PROGRAM
Outdoor camps
Make room for deeper discovery, with time to explore ecology, build outdoor confidence, and practice conservation.
PLANNED PROGRAM
After-school learning
Keep curiosity growing through recurring nature lessons and projects that build knowledge one discovery at a time.
Schedules, ages, enrollment, and site details will be announced as each program is ready.
A connection to nature begins with noticing.WILDLIFE & HABITAT
Learn to notice.
Learn to care.
Our educational focus connects wildlife to the places it depends on: forests, creeks, grasslands, and the habitats in our own communities.

- 02Understand what healthy habitats provide

LOOKING AHEAD
