\n(Unceded Algonquin Territory, Ottawa, June 15, 2023)<\/strong> \u2014 Nature Canada\u2019s Women for Nature<\/em> are proud to celebrate Derek Nguyen of Ajax, Ontario, as a recipient of our 2023 Young Nature Leaders Grant. This grant encourages, fosters and nurtures youth to demonstrate their leadership in nature.<\/p>\n

Derek will grow native Ontario pollinator plants to distribute to schools, and youth groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy cultivating much needed native pollinator plants for local groups, this project weaves together the threads of ecology and community with the goal of crafting a vibrant tapestry serving both pollinators and people,\u201d says Derek Nguyen. \u201cAs we sow seeds, we cultivate understanding, appreciation, and the profound interconnectivity of life in Ontario, empowering schools, shelters, and diverse community groups to participate in the rekindling of a thriving, sustainable natural world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Derek is a Young Nature Leader alongside these youth whose projects will be announced later this year:<\/p>\n
