Mini Naturalists Club
You're never too young to explore nature!
Building on the success of our Junior Naturalists Club, we're excited to announce a new series of nature education programs for Mississauga's youngest explorers!
The Riverwood Conservancy’s Mini Naturalists Club (MNC) gives children aged 3-5, along with a parent/guardian, the chance to explore the outdoors, and develop a meaningful connection to the natural world.
Mini Naturalists and their parents/guardians will learn about insects, identify plants and trees, walk through nature, and give back to the local environment through a community project!
If you have questions about the program or registration, please contact our Conservation and Program Manager, Derek Stone.
