lapsi ja luonto - isä ja poika luonnossa
lapsi ja luonto - luonnon tasapaino

Founded in 1997, the principal purpose of the Child and Nature Foundation is to support natural activities, which contribute to the holistic well-being of people and the environment.

In a holistic view, a man is an entirety formed by a physical, emotional, intellectual and social dimension, all aspects of which are affected by each other and by the environment.

The Foundation wants to have a say in the prevailing social attitudes and practices, in order to increase awareness of the significance of natural and humanitarian values to the holistic well-being of people and the environment.

The Foundation wants to promote activities that promote equality, the sense of community, humanity and nature, and where tolerance, courage and passion prevail.

The Foundation implements its purpose in Finland and elsewhere in the world.
