The Nature Collective simulation in Second Life
The Nature Collective is a Second Life group created with the goal of cultivating a community around sims, spaces and projects which share a common focus on nature. It is our hope to foster a movement to help people engage and reconnect with the wonder and joy of nature, in the virtual world and beyond.
The tour will begin at the Virtual Worlds Education Consortium Fireside Deck.  Participants will teleport to the Nature Collective.
