High Park Nature Centre

The High Park Nature Centre is a non-profit organization that was established in 1999.  The High Park Nature Centre promotes awareness and respect for nature through outdoor environmental education and park stewardship.  Nature Centre programs inspire a sense of wonder, knowledge, and respect for High Park’s natural systems; restore human connections to local plants and animals; and engage children and families in ecological restoration activities to ensure a sustainable future for High Park for generations to come.
