Nature walks, meetups, and a community for
young people who care about nature and the Earth.
BURLINGTON | HAMILTON | MILTON
This is the summer to get out of your routine, meet good people, and find your place.
The Summer We Grow Together is a series of nature walks, meetups, and community-building activities for young people ages 18–23 who care about nature, the Earth, and the future.
You do not need to be an expert.
You do not need to know where you fit yet.
You do not need to have it all figured out.
Come as you are, just bring your curiosity and a comfortable pair of shoes, and see what grows from there.
Why Come?
You already care. This is a place to do something with it.
You need more than school & work.
Life should have places where you can be curious, connected, and human without being graded, hired, or measured.
Caring alone gets heavy.
If you care about nature, climate, animals, community, or the future, come be around people who care too.
Be part of something meaningful.
If you want to help make the world better but don't know where to start, this is an easy way to begin.
This is a doorway into a community where young people can find purpose, contribute, and help create a more compassionate world.

A Workshop for Finding Your Place.
Tuesday, July 21st
How to Help the Planet Without Making It Your Career
Not everyone who cares about the planet is going to become a biologist, conservationist, activist, or environmental professional, and that’s okay.
In this virtual meetup, we’ll explore how to stay connected to nature and make a positive impact without needing to turn conservation into your career. We'll talk about finding realistic ways to keep nature in your life, stay grounded in what matters, and contribute through your everyday choices, interests, skills, and community.
This event is for young people ages 18–23 who care about the planet but may not be studying environmental science, working in conservation, or sure where they fit yet.
