Bursaries

Forest Education Bursary

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.

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.
