Welcome to Wild Paths Nature Awareness

At Wild Paths, we strive to bring the very best in outdoor education to you. This includes Wildlife Tracking, Man Tracking, Natural Awareness, Wilderness Survival, Wild Edible and Medicinal Plants, etc. If it is in the natural environment and you are interested in it, I guarantee we either offer a course in it, or we are planning to in the near future. If we do not offer a topic that interests you, contact us and we may set one up!

Wild Paths is located in Calgary, Alberta - but our courses can be held anywhere on the globe. If you are willing to pay travel and expenses for an instructor to come and teach a course in your area, we are more than willing to do so. Having said that, in Calgary, we are central to some of the most interesting environments to work in. From the barren badlands, to the rockies, to the lush temperate rainforests of the Kootenays, we have it all!

At Wild Paths, we seek to re-attune people to their natural surroundings. Around the world, people are feeling less and less connected to their environment. Most cannot identify which plants they could eat in their lawn, let alone the wild. Most cannot identify even the most basic of animal tracks or trees. But even beyond the identification and uses of things, that feeling of connection simply is not there. Yet we yearn for it on a fundamental level. We feel better and healthier when we are in the outdoors and feel connected. So lets get off our couches and relearn what it means to be wild!
