Earth Path

Earth Path is an Ottawa-based non-profit organization whose mission is to nourish relationships with nature for a better world. Since 2013 we have offered programs that develop nature awareness, wilderness skills, environmental stewardship and a deep connection to all around us. Programs include: nature school for children, field walks for adults, and workshops for teachers, aiming to support the growth of healthy, whole communities. Earth Path’s Nature School programs give youth an opportunity to explore, play, create, and adventure outdoors within a caring, nature-based community, one day a week. Through experiential learning, our goal is to help nurture creativity, self-confidence, and respect for each other, while sharing practical skills and knowledge about the natural world. Participants in our adult programs learn about local natural areas, plants, and animals through guided field walks and wild-crafting workshops. We also offer landscape interpretation for landowners who wish to learn more about their land. We support teachers in facilitating place-based education to connect students to the natural world and their community, and to build ecological literacy. We offer training programs, customized workshops, longer term curriculum development support, and field days for schools.
