Since our school's inception in 2013, Grandmother Pine, a majestic white pine, has stood as a sentinel beside our outdoor classroom. She has been a source of love and stability, offering a gentle embrace to the children who climb her, hug her, and whisper messages of gratitude to her. Grandmother Pine symbolizes the unwavering presence of nature in a child's life, nurturing their growth and fostering a deep connection with the natural world. The Grandmother Pine Bursary Fund embodies this spirit, providing opportunities for children to explore, learn, and thrive in nature's constant and loving embrace.

Through these connections we've witnessed children grow deep relationships with nature that are founded on love, reciprocity, gratitude, respect, and the utmost care. We’ve also witnessed each child grow in resilience, confidence, competence, and self-love. These are experiences we believe all children should have.

Children who are connected to nature grow up into adults who fight to protect it. We envision a future where policy decisions, organizational initiatives, businesses, and programs are guided by these nature-connected adults, who prioritize the best interests of the natural world and its inhabitants.

As a not-for-profit, Earth Path is committed to making nature education accessible to all. That's why we are humbly asking for your family's donation to our Grandmother Pine Bursary Fund. These donations will allow families in financial need to attend our programs, ensuring we can provide transformative outdoor experiences to those who would not otherwise have access.
