We are a group of students at Queen’s University working to address barriers to outdoor-based learning.
We work together as a team - all initiatives, including the lending library, the website, and workshops, were organized and implemented with each member’s input taken into account. The Queen’s Outdoor Field Experience Initiative would not be possible without the support of the Queens’ Biology Department, our many partners & sponsors, and feedback from the Queen’s community.
