Testimonials:
"My summer as an environmental education intern with the Grass River Natural Area has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I began the summer with hesitant optimism that I might discover the beginnings of a meaningful and inspiring career. Within a matter of weeks that hesitation has faded and been replaced with gratitude and a sense of purpose that I have never before felt in the workplace." - Andrew Carman
"One of the most amazing ways to give back to nature is to get kids excited about it. It felt great that I was a small part of their journey of loving and caring for our environment." - Emma Steele
"The faculty and staff that work to make Grass River the majestic place that it is today cannot be praised enough. It has forever changed my outlook on nature, and has influenced the direction of my academic pursuits considerably, all while feeling as though I was part of something much greater at Grass River." - Liam Fries
