NATURE is a voice for the natural world.
As one of the most watched documentary film series on public television, NATURE delivers the best in original natural history films to audiences nationwide. Celebrating its 42nd Season in Fall 2023, NATURE is a production of The WNET Group, the parent company of THIRTEEN and WLIW21, New York’s public television stations and operator of NJ PBS. For more than 50 years, The WNET Group has been producing and broadcasting national and local documentaries and other programs for the New York community.
Over the years, NATURE has brought the beauty and wonder of the natural world into American homes, becoming in the process the benchmark of natural history programs on American television. The series has won more than 700 honors from the television industry, the international wildlife film community, parent groups, and environmental organizations – including 21 Emmy Awards, three Peabody Awards, and the first honor ever given to a program by the Sierra Club.
