In partnership with Haliburton Outdoors 4 Youth Club and The Land Between, Watersheds Canada launched the free Nature Discovery Kit project in summer 2021. These kits decreased financial, geographic, experiential, and knowledge-based barriers for youth to participate in citizen science, species identification, and environmental stewardship. Each kit included field equipment and activities for youth and their families to identify local species, explore and connect with nearby nature, and learn more about local water quality. There were two kit themes to pick from: forest and freshwater.
