We are no strangers to working in the rain, but sometimes, even we can’t help but shut ourselves in with a good book and a warm drink. On days like that, conservation efforts don’t need to stop entirely!

Our staff, board members, and contractors handpick their favourites and we post them as “Rainy Day Recommendations” on our social channels.

Whether it’s a movie, a book, a podcast, or something else entirely, this is all of them listed in one place. We hope they can keep you both occupied and engaged in environmental ideas from the comfort of your home.

Entries are updated regularly.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

“This is such an uplifting environmental book that opens up your perspective on how humans, plants, and the world around us are all connected!” ~ Tamsin Baker, Stewardship Coordinator

The Nature Fix by Florence Williams

“Williams takes us on an adventure as she travels the globe exploring different forests and environments. Backed by science and research, she investigates the secrets that nature offers to help us nourish and heal our bodies.” ~ Patricia Fantillo, Volunteer Coordinator

Over the Hedge (2006)

"There’s no question that this movie is just a straight-up good time for the whole family, but if you look a little deeper, it might spark conversation about perfectly manicured lawns and the importance of wild spaces." ~ Micah Brandt, Communications Assistant
