History of Natural Innovations:
In 2003, after meeting with area individuals and organizations working in or interested in the community and its environment, a small group of passionate people decided to take the ideas and needs expressed to another level. In September of 2004, Natural Innovations Inc. was proud to incorporate as a 501 (c) 3 organization.
Shortly after, Natural Innovations welcomed and encouraged members from the environmental education community to assist in creating a strategic plan. With the completion of the strategic plan, a board of directors was established which works to honor the mission of Natural Innovations and achieve its goals.
Mission:
To inspire, model and teach people to become lifelong stewards of the earth.
Community-driven, Natural Innovations is committed to assisting individuals and organizations in developing a better understanding of the relationships and interdependence of human and environmental health.
