Network for Ecology
Bringing people together to help all life flourish.
Stories, Connections and practical ways to help.
Network for Ecology creates campaigns, stories, and resources that help people understand the living world, discover meaningful work, and find practical ways to take part.
From animals and rainforests to rivers, gardens, and the places we share, we’re building connections that help care reach further.
Why NFE exists
Discover what we can make possible together.
People care about animals, nature, and the places they call home. Across communities, people are finding ways to protect, restore, nurture, and grow—and there are many ways to take part.
Network for Ecology shares their stories, explores their ideas, and connects people with initiatives they can learn from, participate in, and support.

About Network for EcologyFeatured campaign
Growing Eden
Grow food. Nurture life. Share abundance.
Imagine edible gardens around homes and schools, fruit and nut trees throughout neighborhoods, and food forests cared for by communities.
Food is sacred. Growing Eden invites us to explore a more nourishing world through food forests, permaculture, organic gardening, and perennial food plants—and to help the people bringing that vision to life.

Support the work
Help care reach further.
We’re building Network for Ecology to bring people, businesses, and organizations together around a shared purpose: helping animals, nature, and communities flourish.
Through stories, education, and long-term campaigns, we want to make meaningful work easier to discover, understand, and support—connecting people’s concern with practical ways to take part.
Your support helps build that network: bringing important stories to more people, creating connections around work worth supporting, and growing campaigns that invite lasting participation.
Whether you’re an individual, family, or business, you can help bring this vision to life.
Contributions here support Network for Ecology’s work. They are separate from donations made directly to featured organizations.
