The mission of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute (RTPI) is to spark a lifelong love of nature through the lens of art. Home to the largest collection of Peterson’s original artwork, RTPI exhibits his work and the work of others whose Art Matters to the Planet. Through exhibitions and both indoor and outdoor programs, RTPI illuminates the beauty of nature, challenges us to confront the critical conservation challenges of our time, and inspires us to preserve the earth’s diversity of life.
