Come forth
into the light of things.
Beginning in 2005, Parks and People will award grants of up to $5,000 to community-based naturalist clubs, cooperating associations and naturalist clubs in schools for the organization and delivery of learning activities such as outdoor talks, guided hikes and walks, nature watch activities and special programs for children. These activities will strive to bring Canadians into intimate contact with nature, nurture in them a deep passion for nature and motivate them to become ongoing, active and responsible stewards of the environment. The Parks and People program is administered by Nature Canada which is Canada’s premier not-for-profit conservation organization. With some 40,000 members and donors, it motivates and channels the energies of more than 100,000 naturalists (novice and serious alike), including individuals and members of more than 350 naturalist organizations.
