Pine is thrilled to share about our recent collaboration with Native Child & Family Services! Over the past few months, we’ve been working together to bring monthly nature connection programs to their school-age drop-in program.
Programs kicked off earlier this year, and kids and mentors have been spending their time together immersed in the wonders of nature. Through a variety of nature-inspired games and hands-on activities, participants are not only having fun but also developing important skills, fostering a sense of curiosity and connection, and building a deeper appreciation for the environment. One participant perfectly captured the excitement and value of these experiences by exclaiming, “That was worth getting my shoes dirty!” We’ve been having a blast connecting with nature and each other, and we look forward to the adventures ahead.
We’re incredibly grateful to TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for making it possible for Pine to offer these no-cost monthly nature connection programs. Your support helps us bring the joy and benefits of nature to even more children & families within our local community.
