Where Learning is Natural
From programs to connect children with the natural world to opportunities for Humber Polytechnic students to practice their skills, education is part of the foundation of the Humber Arboretum.
School Group Visits
Bring your class or home-school group for engaging and active curriculum-connected learning opportunities for Kindergarten to Grade 12.
Humber Polytechnic Connections
From the Learning by LeadingTM volunteer program, to student placements, to support for faculty members who want to connect their classes with nature, the Humber Arboretum has many offerings for the Humber Polytechnic and University of Guelph-Humber community.
Nature Day Camps and Youth Leadership
Nature day camps give kids the chance to explore and get outdoors with experienced camp leaders, and teens the chance to learn to be leaders themselves.
Community Programming - Adults and Families
Opportunities include gardening workshops, beekeeping courses, nature walks, and other special events for adults and families from the community.
Grow Anywhere: Virtual Learning
It's an incredible experience to learn in nature, but that doesn't mean the learning has to stop when you go inside. Whether you're at home, in your residence room, at the office, or in the classroom, explore this content from the Humber Arboretum and beyond to keep your knowledge growing.
Applied Research and Conservation
Through partnerships with organizations such as the City of Toronto’s Park, Forestry and Recreation Department, Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA), and Humber Polytechnic’s Department of Applied Research & Innovation, the Humber Arboretum is involved in many important research projects and conservation initiatives.
