A Nature Club for children ages 5 to 14
ABOUT THE YNC
A growing body of evidence confirms that when children spend time in nature they are healthier, happier, and smarter. Since 2000, the Young Naturalists’ Club of BC has been connecting children with nature through a network of volunteer-led family and school nature clubs across the province. Sharp-shinned hawks, long-toed salamanders, sea otters - these are some of the wild neighbours Young Naturalists' Club members learn about in NatureWILD Magazine, work to protect while earning Action Awards and may even discover on Explorer Days.
It is our Birthday but you get a present! A chance at winning a signed Robert Bateman Print! Robert Bateman’s artwork reflects his deep connection with the natural world. He, better than anyone, knows the importance of getting children outside and exploring the natural world. You can learn more about how time spent in a nature has influenced this celebrated Canadian Artist in the spring issue of NatureWILD Magazine.
In celebration of our 10th birthday! Robert Bateman has generously donated two signed prints to the Young Naturalists’ Club to help us raise funds and connect more children with nature. Individuals making a donation to the YNC this year will have a chance to win one of the signed Robert Bateman prints. Names will be randomly drawn twice throughout the year- once this spring at our Annual General Meeting in Kamloops May 16th and donors have a second chance to win a signed Robert Bateman Print at our 10th Birthday Party during the fall. Donations can easily be made - click on our 'DonateNOW' button above!
