Adopt-A-Class and help children grow NEARER TO NATURE Today!

Our Nearer to Nature Adopt-A-Class program brings children and youth from schools in Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods to the High Park Nature Centre.

In order to provide this opportunity for students to experience the unique natural wonders in High Park, the Nature Centre relies heavily on our Nearer to Nature sponsors.

As a sponsor, you will ensure that all students have the opportunity  to connect with nature in their city and help to preserve one of Toronto’s most significant and fragile natural areas.

One class visit, including transportation, costs $500.

Sponsor Level 1 – $500

For $500, you can adopt one class in need of support and provide them with a field trip experience at the Nature Centre. Your sponsorship covers the cost of program delivery, led by two experienced nature interpreters as well as a subsidy for transportation to the Centre.

Sponsor Level 2 – $1500

For $1500, you can adopt a class in need of support and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the Centre’s “High Park Through the Seasons” program. This three-visit package allows students to experience the beauty and diversity of High Park throughout the seasons – from autumn leaves and acorns to crisp snow and animal tracks to spring migration and woodland wildflowers.  Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the unique ecology of the park and the importance of protecting and restoring it. Your sponsorship covers the cost of program delivery, led by two experienced nature interpreters as well as a subsidy for transportation to the Centre.

Recognition

Your support will be gratefully acknowledged with public announcements through city-wide media and on the Nature Centre’s website and social media tools. Your donation will also be recognized on all “Nearer to Nature” program brochures, posters and reports as well as in our annual report.
