The GRCF and the GRCA work together to identify priority projects that would otherwise not happen without the support of generous donations from the community. Some of our highest priority projects include:
New Guelph Lake Nature Centre - Nature At Your Doorstep!
After more than 30 years, the current Guelph Lake Nature Centre has seen better days. 600,000 students through the front doors of a former single family residence will do that though. It's time Guelph and Wellington County had an outdoor education facility that matched the quality of outdoor education programming the GRCA offers watershed students. The new centre will be relocated within Guelph Lake park and serve more than 200,000 visitors each year, but we need your help. Learn more...
Laurel Creek Nature Centre Discovery Room
The Discovery Room is the place it all starts for kids in Waterloo and beyond! After many years and about 15,000 visitors per year, this space is due for a refresh. Donors are helping to create a new and dynamic gathering spot that is vibrant, accessible and engaging for kids of all ages and levels. Join them!
Haldimand Children's Water Festival
There are no better ambassadors for our water supply than our community's kids. Since 2014 the Haldimand Children's Water Festival has welcomed 500 Grade four students each year for hands-on learning about water conservation and water management. Learn how you can help.....
FWR Dickson Wilderness Area - Trails for a Whole Community
Located between Cambridge and Paris, the trails at Dickson Wilderness Area have been an area favourite to enjoy a hike, feed the chickadees and enjoy beatiful scenery. The four-kilometer loop is available at no cost. After decades of enjoyment, the time has come to improve the trailway for all. Learn more...
