“We feel very privileged to have found this great group.
What a great way for our kids to be introduced to all Nova Scotia has to offer. All events are well-planned, fun & informative!” - Parent of a YNC member

 

Do you love exploring and learning about nature?

Do you want to meet other kids who love nature?

Join the Young Naturalists’ Club!

The YNC was created for enthusiastic young explorers like you!
The YNC will help you discover the natural world all around you.
You’ll become a ‘nature expert’ by learning how to track animals in the snow,
how to identify birds and plants and by observing nature!
The YNC also helps you learn how to create – for example, you can learn how to build bird and bat houses,
restore shorelines or grow native plants that pollinators will love!
YNC activities will show you how much fun it is to explore the natural world!
You and your friends can participate in interesting workshops
and go fun outings!
You may look for bats, salamanders or owls at night… or splash through a marsh to find amphibians…
or snowshoe through the forest to look for tracks and signs of animals…
What have you always wanted to do?
Tell us your ideas for what you’d like to learn about!
