Nature and Youth Sweden (Swedish: Fältbiologerna, literally "The Field Biologists") is a Swedish organisation for youth interested in nature studies and environmental protection associated with the SNF and SSNC. The organisation has around 3,000 members in the ages 6–25 all over Sweden. Leaders sometimes encourage young members to avoid factory farmed food, and young members have been involved in protests. The organisation has published important texts on topics such as forestry preservation.
