Nature House
Nature learning for all ages
Since 2016, the Nature House program has been a hub for environmental education, community connection, and creative exploration on Thetis Island. Each summer, we collaborate with local organizations and residents to offer a rich lineup of art- and science-based events for all ages. From hands-on workshops and nature art sessions to expert-led excursions and guest speaker presentations, our programming is designed to inspire curiosity and deepen our collective understanding of the natural world. Popular offerings include the Junior Biologist program, S4 (Sensational Sunday Speaker Series), Wild Creatives, garden-related workshops, and a variety of science education activities that bring people together in a spirit of learning and stewardship.
Events take place across the island at cherished locations such as Forbes Hall, Telegraph Harbour Marina, the People’s Apothecary Garden, and our beloved Nature House at The Portal - a stunning 70-acre waterfront property located at 254 North Cove Road.
While summer is our busiest season, the learning doesn’t stop there. Throughout the fall, winter, and spring, we continue to host occasional nature-focused events, including bird watching excursions with ornithologists, mushroom foraging walks, insect identification outings, and habitat restoration workshops. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the Nature House invites you to explore, learn, and grow with us in every season.
