We walk with children, not ahead of them.

FOUNDER of SALMON FOREST

Forest and Nature School Practitioner

Forest and Nature School Practitioner

Our team holds certifications in Forest and Nature School education, outdoor safety, and child development. We combine experience with playfulness and presence.

Every child is unique — and so is the way we support them. With backgrounds in psychology, education, and special needs, we create space for all children to thrive.

We honour Indigenous ways of knowing, and continuously learn how to guide children in respectful, place-based relationships with nature.

We are certified in outdoor safety and child care, carry bear spray, and follow strict risk assessments. Whether it's navigating slippery logs or staying alert in bear country — we’re always prepared.

From “what to do when you see a wild animal” to “how to dress for a rainy hike,” we teach kids practical skills to feel confident and safe in nature — and in themselves.

Our team weaves citizen science into everyday learning — observing salmon runs, tracking seasonal changes, testing water clarity, and identifying plants and insects. We model curiosity, teach kids how to notice, and create real opportunities to care for the ecosystems we explore.
