Our Vision

Blue River Forest Nature Sanctuary (BRFNS) endeavors to cultivate an awareness, appreciation, and devotion to nature, ourselves, and others.

BRFNS empowers people and community to better themselves through a variety of nature-based programs and self-enriching experiences. Our programs, which are held on land that feeds the headwaters of the Blue River in Overland Park, Kansas, lead to a reawakened sense of wonder. We desire to inspire optimism and happiness, and foster feelings of well-being. In order to do this, we find it important to connect every man, woman and child back to the land. In turn, this reconnects them to their true-selves.
