About the Center for Humans and Nature
Exploring our relationships with and responsibilities to nature.
Our work provides in-depth and diverse perspectives about what it means to be human in an interconnected world.
The Center in Libertyville, IL is a workspace for Chicago-based staff, a retreat center for the Center’s gatherings of thought-leaders, a laboratory in which to practice land-relationship ideas shared by Center contributors, and (one day soon) a welcoming space for periodic public events.
