Nature & Equine Assisted Learning Assistant
At ConnectByNature Therapy Services, we (re)connect people with nature so they can heal, grow, and thrive, with a particular focus on children and youth, including those who have limited access to nature due to systemic barriers.
We strive to create environments and experiences that support wellbeing across the lifespan, while holding deep respect for people, place, and the more-than-human world.
