Connecting Kids & Nature
The Pictou County Young Naturalists Club is a fun, free way for children to informally connect with nature. We give kids positive, direct experiences in nature. Kids learn through nature talks and walks with adult naturalists who want to share their knowledge with the next generation of nature lovers.
