We Celebrate Inspiring
Nature Stories & Events

Roots on the Rise is growing an incredible network of individuals who follow (what we call) a modern naturalist lifestyle, and we’re excited to share their unique stories with you! Embracing a natural lifestyle in the modern world isn’t easy, but our community has the expertise to show you how to do so consistently and effectively.

Prioritize Time in the Natural World
Engage with Nature Through the Senses
Connect with the Cycles of Nature
Express Nature Connection Creatively
Make Sustainable Choices

This lifestyle leads to improved physical and mental health and a deeper connection to the environment. Let’s learn, serve, and grow together!

We support our community's “Modern Naturalists” by promoting their stories, services, products, and events.
