Project NatureConnect (PNC)  is a private education program founded and directed by Michael J. Cohen, Ph.D, Ed.D. that works in cooperation with forward thinking Universities, organizations and individuals.  It is funded, operated and administrated by volunteers from many disciplines who master the ways and means of PNC’s outcomes and its evidence-based Whole Life Art and Science of Educating, Counseling and Healing with Nature (ECHN) process.

PNC presently operates independently and as a subsidized form of Applied Ecopsychology in cooperation with Akamai University and Portland State University education and degree programs. 

The application of ECHN creates conscious, whole life sensory moments. They strengthen each participant’s life and livelihood while they strengthen the life of Earth along with local and global well-being. Each participant is given the long term opportunity to work as part of PNC or independently.
