The Goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To connect kids and families to Nearby Nature – Nature right where they live.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is a growing disconnect between urban Canadians and Nature, and youth in particular are spending less time outdoors and are becoming increasingly isolated from Nature. More than 80 percent of Canadians live in urban centres and are unfortunately becoming less connected to nature, despite living within a kilometre of a public park.<\/p>\n

There has been an incredible amount of research that supports the health benefits of connecting people to nature, especially young people. Being in Nature promotes awareness and appreciation of our natural world as well as an increase in mental and physical health, and overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Nature Canada\u2019s NatureHood<\/em> program aims to inspire children with a sense of wonder and appreciation for nature through celebratory events, educational and stewardship activities and wildlife observation, set in public green spaces and schoolyards.<\/p>\n
