about natuur

Our brand-new programs for schools have been developed based on our educational vision (the Big Five). We promote an inquisitive and science positive attitude by using real objects taken from nature and relevant topics to arouse a sense of wonder and enhance research skills. At this time, our programs are offered only in Dutch.

Our educational mission

Together, we discover the richness of nature. Whatever you know or feel, there's always more to be  enthusiastic about, more to learn and more to investigate.
