Imagine your classroom is the forest floor, your blackboard is the sky, and your lessons are carried on the wind and the water. At Natural Resources Training Group, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful learning becomes when it’s rooted in the land and delivered within the community. Over the past 20 years, we’ve provided natural resource training to more than 25,000 students across Canada and not through textbooks alone but through real, hands-on experience.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s a rapidly unfolding crisis already transforming Canada’s ecosystems. From wildflowers blooming out of season to wildlife displaced by violent storms, the impacts are both visible and urgent. In northern Canada, these effects are even more pronounced, threatening fragile ecosystems and communities. At the heart of resilience lies education and action—where natural resource training becomes essential. Programs like those offered by Natural Resources Training Group (NRTG) equip individuals with practical skills to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change, helping protect the future of Canada’s ecosystems and biodiversity.
