Learn about the Edmonton Nature Centres Foundation
The Edmonton Nature Centre Foundation (ENCF), established in 1979, is a registered charity with a mandate to:
Raise funds towards redevelopment and enhancement of indoor and outdoor areas at John Janzen Nature Centre;
Promote conservation and environmental education;
Increase public awareness and appreciation for nature and the environment.
Our Work
We are a small but mighty team of volunteers with one dedicated part-time staff. Our work evolves around inspiring a love and appreciation for nature for Edmonton and area residents and visitors.
Tegler Discovery Zone – ENCF raised more than $500,000 towards this capital initiative. Climb a birch tree and hang out underground in a squirrel’s midden. Get busy as a bee with our live bee hive and build your own flower to pollinate. These are just some of the things you can do in the Tegler Discovery Zone at John Janzen Nature Centre.
