We would like to acknowledge the knowledge holders of this land, both past, present and those emerging.​Learning with the Land (previous Rooted in nature) was established in 2021 (by Anabel) with the goal of providing frequent and repeated access to the land for children in Yellowknife.

We provide a variety of safe, age-appropriate materials and tools for fort building, dramatic play, mud kitchen creations, arts, crafts and more.
