Touch Grass Club started in 2023 as a group chat discussing problems we were facing as young people who felt out of touch with our environment and local communities. It grew into a series of informal outdoor gatherings, and then into the organization and programs we have today.

Touch Grass Club organizes and hosts events that bring our neighbors together with Knowledge Holders and scientific experts to learn about the natural world around us, and make our communities a more sustainable place to live.

We don’t have a central location to work out of, so we rely on public land and partnerships with community organizations to host our events. This has turned out to be a blessing in disguise - allowing us to bring events to people all across the city and make connections with amazing community partners. We try to make sure that our events are accessible by public transportation whenever possible, and organize alternative transport like Park Bus or carpooling for events outside the city. Access to natural spaces should never rely on owning a car!

As Touch Grass Club, we hope to give our neighbors the resources and knowledge to restore biodiversity within and around amiskwaciy-wâskahikan. We’re working to build spaces that encourage respect, reciprocity, and care for each other and the world around us. We hope you’ll join us!
