Nature Detective Program

By February 18, 2022March 17th, 2022No Comments

The Nature Detective Program is a fun and interactive way of introducing elementary school-aged children to the St. Croix Estuary and Ganong Nature Park.  Students become “Nature Detectives” of the Park and help us discover and learn about what happens at the Park when we are not here. Students join Park Rangers in a Park investigation into the inhabitants of the Park.  Students follow a trail of clues as they hike and explore the Park and use these clues to make an amazing discovery at the end. Through their participation, students learn about our natural environment and about the animals that call our region home.  They are also introduced to various species of trees and learn about how they grow and adapt to the environment around them.

This program introduces young children to outdoor, hands-on experiences and helps to develop and enhance a love for their natural environment. By cultivating an appreciation and understanding of wildlife resources, this program aims to foster wise environmental stewardship and responsible actions toward wildlife and related natural resources.

Your Environmental Trust Fund at Work – Votre Fonds en fiducie pour l’environnement au travail.

This Wildlife Trust Fund obtains a portion of its revenue from the purchase of conservation plates by New Brunswick residents who are interested in conservation. Seven dollars ($7) from each conversation plate purchase goes into that fund annually. These funds are awarded to projects such as ours by the Minister of Natural Resources following review and recommendation by an independent board of 17 volunteers. Revenue from license plates is critical in furthering conservation efforts in our province so please consider purchasing conservation plates with your next car purchase to enable the NB Wildlife Trust Fund to continue to provide financial support for worthy wildlife projects.
