Spent a wonderful day with some amazing outdoor educators at the @COEOoutdoors Conference. Thank you to everyone who came out to hear about connecting youth to nature in urban environments and what fun the Junior and Mini Naturalists are having @yourriverwood

If you're thinking of creating custom labels for the new school year, why not get them from @mabelhood - and support our environmental work in the process! Just search for 'The Riverwood Conservancy' in the Fundraising Support page and get shopping! mabelslabels.ca/en_CA/fundra…

Our gardens bloom because of our donors! Last year, they helped us expand our Veggie Garden so we could plant more food crops and deliver 300 lbs. of fresh produce to our local food bank. Help our green spaces in #Mississauga thrive with a gift today at theriverwoodconservancy.org/….

The boys had a great night. It's amazing that you were able to see & hear so much wildlife!
Thank you for another amazing session. Incredible planning & teaching by your team. Hands down my favourite program for kids.

It was hard to tell who was more excited - kids or parents! Fascinating morning. Thank you for having us.

Excited to have had the opportunity to lead 2 workshops with @johnsonfamadv in @CityofRegina & @cityofsaskatoon on connecting kids with nature. This interprovincial collaboration btw @SaskOutdoors, @CUE_UofT & @yourriverwood has empowered dozens to create new @JrNaturalists clubs

@SaskOutdoors @SaskParksandRec @SaskLotteries
JNC road trip part two…this time in Saskatoon! Partnering with @SaskOutdoors to engage local outdoor ed champions in our “naturalist club how to” workshop was so much fun. And our “Powerful Plants” walk was sharp! Thanks to all for joining us.

Genetics & Evolution for Kids (and teens!) is now out on #BiologyInYourBackyard (youtu.be/qDgEffSjVcM). Learn about genes, genetic variation and the "secret sauce" of #evolution. Summer is fast approaching, so this is one of our final 3 episodes (bit.ly/2XM7NWa). @UTM

Our last #AroundTheWorld video is here (youtu.be/t5aDg2A1YF8) & it is a GREAT ONE!!! Join Cecilia in the hills of Concepión Chile as she goes hunting for #mushrooms. Her enthusiasm and good humour will make you feel like you are walking around with her. #BiologyInYourBackyard
