Nature Resources by State

Whether you’re looking for seasonal wildlife updates, citizen science opportunities, or regional field guides, state agencies often provide fantastic nature publications—many of them free! These newsletters, magazines, and online bulletins are excellent tools for supporting nature study and growing in your own knowledge as a teacher.

Below you’ll find a collection of nature resources organized by U.S. state. From weekly wildlife updates like Georgia Wild to full seasonal magazines like Kansas Wildlife & Parks, each one offers a glimpse into your local natural world.

This list is just getting started, and I’d love your help! If you know of a nature newsletter or magazine produced by your state’s Department of Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife, or similar agency—especially ones you enjoy or use in your homeschool—please let me know so I can add it to the list.

Let’s build this library together and make it easier for all of us to “open the door to wonder” right where we live.
