A Peterborough youth is being recognized for her leadership when it comes to the environment.
Hayley De Turse has been named as a recipient of the 2024 Young Nature Leaders Grant, announced by Nature Canada.
De Turse is going to be developing an outdoor experiential education with ‘Sun School’, partnering with district schools, New Canadian Centre, Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Friendship Centre, the public library, and local farmer’s markets.
She also hosted seven Nature Detective workshops back on May 5th.
Hayley’s goal is to make outdoor education accessible to everyone, including students from low-income backgrounds, newcomers to Canada, and individuals with disabilities. Sun School takes learning outdoors, allowing participants to learn in the sunshine.
