Forest Education Bursary Fund

About This Campaign

No matter how big or small, your donation to this fund will help to instill a love for nature in someone who would otherwise face barriers to participation.

At Wildwood, we believe that all children have a fundamental right to access nature and to experience the joy of  learning in an intact forest ecosystem. Studies continually show that time outdoors is essential for children’s physical and mental health, personal growth, and academic success. We believe children should have opportunities to play, learn, and grow in nature, regardless of their family’s financial situation

The Forest Education Bursary makes that possible by keeping our programs accessible to all families.

“Every child needs nature. Not just the ones with parents who appreciate nature. Not only those of a certain economic class or culture or gender or sexual identity or set of abilities. Every child”. Richard Louv.

What this fund supports:

  1. Low income families to access eco-forester for day program
  2. Low income families to access eco-forester day camps
  3. Low income young adults to participate in eco-forester workshops.
