LTH breaks down social and cultural barriers to understanding and sustainability through stimulating outdoor bilingual learning experiences, celebrating other cultures, exploring the wonders of nature as well as teaching tolerance, solidarity, and empathy for one another and the environment throughout their lives.

We are located in beautiful Leesburg, Virginia, just 35 miles outside of Washington D.C.
Our horse country property features rolling hills, a picturesque brook, beautiful woods, multiple pastures, and open, natural play areas.
We also have a fully functioning historic chicken coop and a completely restored, 200 year old bank barn and stable. Most importantly, LTH is an official Wildlife Sanctuary, recognized by the Loudoun Nature Conservancy, the Audubon Society, and the National Wildlife Federation!
Our location is minutes away from downtown Leesburg and 0.75 miles from Route 15. Tucked away off Gleedsville Road, it's just a quick turn, a small dip onto our private driveway, and you're there!
Look out for our hand-painted Little Tree Huggers sign on the road!
