Neurodiversity in Nature is a free, nature-focused and arts-inspired program for post-secondary students from any school who identify with neurodivergence.

Led by a neurodivergent Outdoor Educator from the Humber Arboretum, we will explore a different theme each Friday afternoon in November:

  • Friday November 1 - Being in Nature and Preparing to be Outside
  • Friday November 8 - Sensory Joy with Nature and Art: Making a Nature Journal
  • Friday November 15 - Plants, Animals, and Invasive Species: Observations in the Natural World
  • Friday November 22 - Worldbuilding with Inspiration from Nature
  • Friday November 29 - Environmental Impacts: Reciprocal Relationships

All sessions take place from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

No previous experience in nature or arts is necessary, and all materials will be provided to participants for free.

Participants can choose to submit their art for publication in a zine that will be distributed through various organizations in the Rexdale neighbourhood.

Where: Meet at the Centre for Urban Ecology in the Humber Arboretum. The Humber Arboretum is found behind Humber Polytechnic North Campus (205 Humber College Blvd).

The Centre for Urban Ecology is the glass building with the red door (U Building)
