Our Environmental Education Program
Youth are the decision-makers of tomorrow. Education, especially for children and teenagers, is vital in ensuring future generations are well-versed in stewarding thriving ecosystems and a stable climate. That’s why for decades we’ve run free environmental education workshops in schools across the province. We’ve reached over 170,000 students and teachers since 1998!
We offer all our environmental education programs & resources for free
People from all backgrounds deserve to have opportunities to connect with the lands and waters. That’s why we prioritize working in communities with limited access to services and resources, offering all workshops and resources for free. By actively removing entry barriers in the environmental movement, we make our land-based learning opportunities accessible and enjoyable for all ages.


Our commitment to incorporating Indigenous perspectives in our programs
We are dedicated to decolonizing our learning process by respectfully incorporating local Indigenous knowledges into our workshops and resources. By collaborating with Indigenous partners to include traditional ways of learning and knowing, we create programs that are hands-on and intercultural. This intersectional approach helps facilitate a shift to respectful, reciprocal relations with the land, water and all living beings. We are grateful to all our partners who have supported this transformation.
