Our Common Heart is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering community wellness through our shared connection to the natural world. Our initiatives offer free psychological and nature-focused educational programs, mental health services, digital resources, and supportive products designed to uplift at-risk families and communities. Additionally, we engage in special projects aimed at restoring and enhancing sustainable native plant habitats on public and private lands, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship. Together, we strive to cultivate a compassionate and resilient community that honors the bonds we share with one another and the Earth.
