Fall 2025 Update: Alternate Programming 

Unfortunately, the official Humber Arboretum Ambassador-in-Training experience will not run for the Fall 2025 semester, however students who were interested in participating are encouraged to attend four free events starting at 12:30 PM on Tuesdays in November which will touch on some of the same topics that would have been covered:

November 4: Building Nature Connection

How do we connect with nature? This week we will be doing some activities that will help us build a sense of place and connect with nature. We will reflect on our relationship with different elements of the outdoors, expand our senses, and let our curious minds wonder: We don’t need all the answers, but we want a lot of questions.

November 11: Sustainability and You

What is sustainability, and how do we do it? Through some fun activities, we’ll learn about what sustainability is (and isn’t!) and how to become more sustainable in our day-to-day lives.

November 18: Wellness in Nature and Accessibility

Wellness and nature are linked. Using an accessible lens, we’ll discuss the connection between nature, wellness and accessibility, as well as the most common barriers to accessing a natural space.

November 25: Our Home in Nature

How do we connect to nature in our everyday life? We prepare, we cook, we communicate, and we organize—with each other, with our families, and in communities. In this session, we will explore concepts rooted in home economics through hands-on fire building... with treats!   

 

There is no application or registration to attend these sessions. Simply meet at the Welcome Gazebo at the front of the Humber Arboretum at 12:30 PM to take part.  

 

Students are also encouraged to sign up for the iNaturalist Student Challenge, which you will also be able to add to your Co-Curricular Record.    

 

Stay tuned for updates on a revised volunteer experience for students in the future.
