Welcome Newest NatureCoaster,

Our mission is to get more people involved in Florida's Nature Coast; particularly Citrus, Hernando & Pasco counties.

We coined the term "NatureCoaster," to refer to those of us who live in, visit, or want to move to this area - and are proud of it.

Stay up-to-date on places to go, things to do and educational opportunities through our features, calendar of events, our website, and our Directory.

Enjoy our features about local people, attractions, and activities.

Some of our content is sponsored by those we are writing about. That's how we are able to deliver NatureCoaster to you at no charge.

We're glad you're here, NatureCoaster. Let us know what you think of the publication and any ideas you have to make it better.

"We believe that Florida's Nature Coast is a sacred place. We value a slower pace of life and that those who interact with nature better understand their place in the world and the sanctity of life. Therefore, we seek to be a conduit between humans and our habitat."
- Diane Bedard
