Nature in Mind helps people deepen their connection to nature, community, and place through birding, ecology, mindfulness, and conservation. Founded by Alex Harper, a biologist, birder, educator, and expedition guide, Nature in Mind draws upon experience leading expeditions across Alaska, Brazil, Antarctica, and the American Southwest, as well as years of conservation work in Nevada.
Alex has served with Red Rock Audubon, the Nevada Bird Records Committee, and local wildlife boards, and has taught thousands through classes, walks, and workshops. Here you'll explore the birds and ecosystems of the Mojave Desert, build practical skills, and discover your role in shaping a healthier future for Las Vegas for wildlife and people alike.
