Resources for Parents

One of the best things you can do for your children, is to take them outside. Let them explore and become intimate with the natural world. Nature exploration and unstructured play is a gift that will last a lifetime, a gift that will develop crucial social skills, creativity and independence.

It's great for their health too. Recent reports tell us that Ontario's children are simply not getting enough exercise. Trust us, hiking and walking is a great form of exercise that few kids will complain about!

Do your child a favour today. Take a hike.

Let us leave a splendid legacy for our children . let us turn to them and say, this you inherit: guard it well, for it is far more precious than money . and once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.
