Kawartha Land Trust’s Popular Passport to Nature Returns for Second Year

KLT’s Passport to Nature program offers free, guided nature adventures all year long.

Get out and explore the Kawarthas with Kawartha Land Trust’s (KLT) 2024-2025 Passport to Nature program!

This project, now entering its second year, is a series of free, guided events, and nature activities available for all to experience. KLT’s Passport to Nature events are ideal if you’re looking for outdoor activities for your family, friends, or guests visiting you this summer and throughout the year.

From nature walks to learn about local turtles, writing poetry in nature, collecting tallgrass and wildflower seeds from one of Ontario’s rarest ecosystems, and much more, KLT’s Passport to Nature program has something for everyone. Many of the events take place on properties protected by Kawartha Land Trust — it’s a chance to see and appreciate even more of the land you love.

“The success of our first Passport to Nature program last year was truly inspiring and we knew we had tapped into people’s interests in getting out into nature and exploring what’s right outside their doors,” said Anna Lee, KLT Director of People and Operations.

“Kawartha Land Trust is dedicated to protecting the natural and working lands of the Kawarthas and our Passport to Nature program is a great way to offer our communities opportunities to learn more about the natural world from local experts.”

The Passport to Nature program was developed and curated by KLT volunteers passionate about connecting people to nature. We offer our thanks to all of the volunteers who make these events possible.

KLT’s Passport to Nature guides are available widely throughout the Kawarthas. You can learn more about Kawartha Land Trust, access a digital version of our Passport to Nature guide, and register for our free events at kawarthalandtrust.org. See you outside!
