No travel and no cost, our educators come to you! Our programs are available FREE OF CHARGE to school and community groups in the Greater Vancouver. Our environmental education programs include a variety of workshop topics, from wildlife to wetlands, stream ecology to backyard habitat. This year we will be offering our free workshops online or face-to-face. See what is available and all the latest updates.
Free monthly workshops
Join us at our Coquitlam Campus on the last Monday of every month. These workshops are aimed at a more adult audience but people of all ages are welcome to come.
Think Nature
Education is an important aspect of the Institute of Urban Ecology's mandate to preserve and enhance the natural environment in urban areas. We believe that by raising public awareness of nature in the city, we can inspire people to think about how their choices affect the urban environment. Simply getting people to notice the plants and animals living outside their doorsteps is a step in the right direction. In the end, we try to promote a better understanding of nature in the city and of how individuals can make a difference in their own homes and communities.
This initiative was made possible by the support of The Children's Educational Foundation of Canada and the Douglas College Foundation.
