All GRCA nature centres are currently closed to the public. Most of our public outdoor environmental community programs (including day camps, birthday parties, youth programs, Scout and Guide badge programs) remain suspended, and events have been cancelled. When new information is available, this page will be updated. Please subscribe to this page for program updates.
School programming is currently underway with limited school boards. It is being offered in a modified and/or virtual setting.
For more information about the impact of COVID-19 to GRCA programs and services, please refer our COVID-19 FAQ.
In the interim, our nature centre staff have put together a fantastic list of activities for those who are missing our in-person program offerings.
The Apps' Mill Nature Centre near Brantford offers a variety of outdoor programs for schools, families, youth and community groups.
Our unique, hands-on programs get kids and adults outdoors and foster an appreciation of nature.
The Nature Centre, donated by SC. Johnson and Son Ltd. of Brantford, is surrounded by 100-hectares of mature forests, fields and wetlands. Whiteman's Creek and Rest Acres Creek offer unique stream habitats for discovery and exploration.
