NatureHood is a Nature Canada initiative that works through our network of partners to connect young people in nature in their neighbourhood and nearby Migratory Bird Sanctuaries and National Wildlife Areas through nature-based programming opportunities. 

The program’s growth focuses on engaging racialized communities through new partnerships in an effort to break down barriers that exist to accessing the benefits of nature. As we grow with focus, we have been thrilled to welcome four new partnerships this year: Green Ummah, Trails Youth Initiatives, Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Beyond the Park program. Learn more about the work our NatureHood partners are doing here.
