About Us

Our Mission 

To encourage curiosity, critical thinking, play and a love for nature, learning and a sense of community. Our goal is to offer children experiences in nature that encourage them to explore, learn and grow. We hope to provide children the opportunities to problem solve, think outside the box and discover their interests.  We hope to build a sense of respect and connections among nature and peers by giving them opportunities to slow down and explore the natural world. 

This program will allow students to gain social skills through team building and child-led play and exploration. Our program will also encourage healthy bodies as they will utilize all their fine and gross motor skills. Students will develop resilience as they will need to face and overcome challenges through various activities. We will work on communication and language skills which will help to improve their confidence. This program will focus on the whole child to help develop emotional, social and physical skills. 

Who We Are

We are a women-led non-profit organization that was established in 2024. Nicole and Alex co-founded Wildwood Foresters with the goal of fostering a sense of community among young children through nature. They encourage curiosity, critical thinking, play, and a passion for both nature and learning. This program was created to address the community's need for immersing young children in nature during their formative years while also building connections among homeschooling families.
Alex, a native of New Hampshire, is a former Kindergarten Teacher with a strong passion for both education and nature. She is eager to blend these two interests together. Alex resides in Warner with her husband, Kevin, and their daughters, Thea (6) and Nora (4). Nicole has experienced diverse landscapes and viewpoints during her time in Florida and Colorado before settling in the beautiful state of New Hampshire. For the past four years, she has been homeschooling her children, giving her valuable insight into homeschooling in NH.
