If you live in Toronto, you might be used to visiting us in High Park - wandering through the savannah wildflowers, checking the ponds for tadpoles, or scanning the treetops for an elusive songbird! We're so thrilled to be able to now be offering Online Naturalist Courses.

We'll prioritize all of the same values as our in person programming - community, reciprocity, stewardship, and a deep love of the natural world - and you'll be able to join us from just about anywhere! So join our fantastic team of naturalists and dive into interactive online learning experiences!
