Soaring Hawks: Wilderness Adventure
Calling all nature enthusiasts! Soaring Hawks wilderness adventure program is for anyone curious to get outside, explore Toronto’s local environment, and learn some really cool skills and knowledge. One day each month, we’ll gather in Toronto’s city parks, meet like minded folks, learn about local plants and animals, and explore how we fit into our broader community. Join us as we:
- Learn wild plants: discover what’s edible, medicinal, and toxic
- Wildlife tracking and naturalist studies: learn about the wildlife and living systems all around you
- Handcraft: use your hands to carve, weave, and create beautiful, functional crafts and art
- Wilderness skill building: explore fire making and use, and shelter building
- Sensory awareness: engage your senses in new ways, build routines of connection, and support your mental and physical wellness
You’ll never walk through a local park (or any other natural space) the same way again!
This wilderness adventure program in Toronto is perfect if you’re just beginning your nature connection journey, or if you’re farther down your path and keen to join monthly outdoor adventures with other nature-loving folks. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged.
