The Learning by Nature program, an initiative of BC Parks Foundation, is offering Canadian K–12 schools $1,000 to purchase plants, seeds, habitat enhancements, and tools to support student-led school grounds projects. Teachers also receive resources and professional development supports. From tree planting to bat boxes, birdhouses, and insect hotels, students turn their school grounds into a place for hands-on learning and action for nature.

Applying is simple: schools submit a short project plan, then share photos, track their impact, and report to the Foundation about how they did. Applications close November 30, 2026, and projects wrap up by June 15, 2027. Where the number of eligible submissions exceeds available funding, schools will be selected through a random allocation process.
