We believe that YNC is a program from which many families with young children within Calgary's Communities and Community Associations could benefit. YNC is a nature education program available to all families throughout the province. The goal of YNC is to teach youth and their families about nature by providing them with instructional and educational resources that promote outdoor activities, observation of nature, environmental stewardship, and healthy living (more details available at www.fanweb.ca). YNC is especially aimed at children and families in urban settings, as it is often thought that there are few opportunities for nature activities in the city. The YNC strives to show children that there are marvelous things to discover about nature in places as close to home as their own back yard.
