Indigenous Outdoor Education

Learning is a holistic experience, we have to get you outside to maximize our potential impact. We created extensive opportunities to prime your learning with us through extensive virtual programming and physical educational products like pamphlets, booklets and posters.

Indigenous Land Assessment and Restoration Planning

We are all extremely well-trained biologists with different areas of expertise, in Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Plants, Birds, Herps, Soil Ecology, Mammals, Aquatics and Bugs.

Together we accomplish meticulously thorough assessments throughout Indigenous Territories and extensive reports and consultation to accomplish a restoration/development plan.

Creators Garden is an effort to provide land-based education. To shift conventional paradigms of how we see and understand and manage The Great Lakes Region. To see the high-value of Indigenous knowledges in an opportunity to increase human and environmental health, simultaneously.
