NATURE ALL AROUND US
Ontario has a wealth of nature to explore. From conservation areas to wilderness areas, city parks to provincial parks, and nature reserves to arboreta, you are never far from nature. Even typically overlooked spaces such as roadsides, railway corridors, empty lots, and alleyways can all be unexpected places of discovery.

With more than 25 years of experience as a naturalist, Richard Aaron offers a variety of nature walks, workshops and lectures that will whet your appetite and stimulate your mind. Regarded for his knowledge, passion, and sense of humour, let Richard be your guide as you expand your connection to nature.
