Mission Statement: Mother's Nature 2 Inc.'s mission is to promote an awareness of nature in young children. We strive to teach respect for the Earth and all its inhabitants. By introducing environmental education at an early age, we hope to foster positive attitudes towards the natural world.
Jean Ruff founded Mother's Nature in 1990 as an effective way to bring nature awareness to young children in an educational setting.

As a mother of two, she realizes that even the youngest citizen can make a positive impact on their environment, Jane is particularly interested in helping children become aware that nature is as close as their own backyard.
