Primary Exempt PurposeThe Center For Reconnecting With Nature (CRWN) has a mission to create pathways for all people, especially youth, to fall in love with nature. By creating positive relationships with the natural world and each other, we promote physical, emotional and spiritual balance. By encouraging connection with the natural world, we spark awe, wonder and new ways to have fun. CRWNs programs counteract the alienation caused by an indoor life and the virtual world; a life removed from its own nature. The Best Experiences Happen in Nature. We are advocates in ethical hunting, falconry, and all outdoor activities that engage us with a connection with nature. We utilize birds of prey and falconry as a method to open the senses, create excitement, awe and wonder, and connect youth and adults to a primal and simple way of life. CRWN has a seasoned staff of Master Falconers and Naturalists that are at the top of their tier in outdoor education and entertainment.A CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION TPrimaryExemptPurpose
