Naturehood inspires urban residents to connect with Nature through interpretive walks, games, art activities, and exploration. The program was piloted at Dawson College, in Montreal, by Nature Canada through the Earthvalues Institute, a not-for-profit organization specialising in developing Nature as mentor educational programs. Myka Taylor runs and coordinates our Naturehood programs and Jenn De Vera at Dawson College.

During the summer Naturehood sessions, programs were developed for both individual visits by a group and for multiple visits that reinvested content and built on group dynamics. Multiple visiting groups would return with increased excitement to discover the program that day. These groups also demonstrated increased respect to the gardens, each other and Nature around them with each visit.
