This week, we’re getting back to nature for summer camp: ALL ages invited.

We’re in conversation with Rebecca Schwarz and Paige Manges of The Nature Place in La Crosse, WI. It’s a place where we all belong and can keep growing – for sustenance, for survival, and for joy.

The Nature Place is dedicated to inspiring and cultivating meaningful connections between people and nature, for the benefit of both, through all-ages programming at their nature-focused community center open to the public, located in La Crosse’s beautiful Myrick Park. With summer vacation in full swing, enjoy!

Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you for listening over the years, and we hope you'll continue to support Cultivating Place.

We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow and engage in even more conversations like these.

The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes. To read more and for many more photos, please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.
