To protect and conserve wildlife and habitats in Canada by engaging people and advocating on behalf of nature.

Today, we face a paradox: Canadians rank environmental issues near the top of the national agenda, yet fewer Canadians than ever have a personal connection to the land.

Nature Canada addresses this paradox by tapping into Canadians’ basic empathy for our planet’s plant and animal species and giving people an outlet to act positively on nature’s behalf.

Explore the natural world, and gain a greater understanding of beauty, its gifts, and its fragility, by participating in one of Nature Canada’s outreach programs.

NatureWatch

Want to do something good for your community and the environment? Try NatureWatch -- our suite of “citizen science” monitoring programs – and start collecting data on water quality, air quality, biodiversity, climate change and much more. Thousands of Canadians submit data that decision-makers use to make effective and sustainable choices in planning for our environment. Tell us about plant bloom times, frog and worm populations, and freeze and thaw dates in your area, and help us learn more about ecological change in this country.

NatureWatch is administered through a partnership between Nature Canada and Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network. Participants include schools, community groups, individuals, and Scouts and Guide groups.

Parks and People

The Parks and People program is fostering the next generation of environmental stewards by providing opportunities to urban youth to experience nature with seasoned and passionate local naturalists.

Established jointly by Parks Canada Agency and Nature Canada, the Parks and People program has helped more than tens of thousands of young Canadians discover the wonder of Canada’s natural parks – from seeing Haida mortuary poles in British Columbia, to cross country skiing in Ontario, to critter dipping in New Brunswick.

The program helps local naturalist groups, schools and conservation associations to bring Canadians into intimate contact with nature, guided by passionate and experienced volunteer nature experts.
