Orion Magazine: "America's finest environmental magazine" (Boston Globe) is an influential forum for re-imagining humanity's relationship to nature, culture, and place, featuring America's foremost writers and artists.

The first issue of Orion Nature Quarterly was published in June, 1982, and in its first-page editorial George Russell, the publication's first Editor-in-Chief, boldly stated Orion's values:

 "It is Orion's fundamental conviction that humans are morally responsible for the world in which we live, and that the individual comes to sense this responsibility as he or she develops a personal bond with nature."

In the intervening twenty-five years, Orion has been a focal point in an extraordinarily rich period of nature writing, and it has remained true to that core conviction, though the magazine has evolved into a bimonthly, in larger format, and the range of its interests has broadened to include not only environmental but cultural concerns.

The Orion Society currently furthers its mission through three fundamental programs: the ideas and inspiration of Orion magazine, community activism through the Orion Grassroots Network, and environmental teaching through Orion Education.

Today, The Orion Society has an operating budget of $1.69 million and a full-time staff of twelve, plus interns and part-time staff. A nonprofit organization, about 35% of our revenue comes from subscriptions, book and single-issue sales, OGN memberships, and about 65% from donations from foundations and individuals.
