Why Buy This Nature Group Scheduler?

After leading a homeschool nature group for 8 years, coordinating rotating parent volunteers, and meeting in multiple locations, I created the tool I wish I’d had from the beginning. This Nature Group Scheduler is designed to remove the overwhelm of planning, communicating, and organizing a year-long nature co-op so leaders can focus on connection, learning, and time outdoors.

Instead of reinventing the wheel every week, this scheduler gives you a clear, shared plan for the entire year using Exploring Nature With Children. It supports volunteer-led lessons, changing locations, and group-wide communication, all in one place. Families know what’s happening, leaders feel prepared, and the group runs smoothly.
