Our Canada Children and Nature group and, especially, our Natural Families Network will probably interest you, among others. The NTN is a great place to ask questions and talk about starting a nature club from the ground up. I hope you'll share your activities, ideas and photos with us and find this a rich source of resources. For any questions about the network, see our FAQ page. Hope to see you here again soon.
