Driving positive change through professional development, scientific research, and innovative design.

2 Nature TREC provides a wide range of services related to the outdoor industry. Our goal is to partner with existing programs to help them become better at what they do. We do this through our four pillars – training, research, education, and consulting. A description of our services is below.

Note: 2nd Nature TREC is not a wilderness therapy, eco-therapy, or nature therapy program. We do not do therapy in any context. We are not a wilderness program and do not take clients on extended wilderness expeditions.
