What We Are Doing
Ontario Nature promotes engagement in forest and freshwater food systems in northern Ontario to improve our capacity to understand and manage forests.
Each year we host edible wild plant workshops to share our knowledge of the benefits of adding wild plants to our diets, and how to harvest these species respectfully and sustainably.
