Future teachers among whom many are digital natives, can be distinguished from preceding generations by their way of life and work. Does the use of ICT contribute in distancing them from the physical environment ? Are they involved in environmental action ? Our study aimed at understanding the relationships future teachers have with the physical and digital environments. The analysis of interviews conducted with pre-service teachers in Montreal and in Moncton shows that future teachers have a fragmented relationship with the natural environment. However, they are aware that nature provides them calmness, rejuvenation and beauty. Often visited, the digital environment offers them distraction, social affiliation, personalised information, quick execution and connection with the global world. The interviewed future teachers have few committment to the environment. The research shows the necessity to promote future teachers’ relationships with their living environment with the help of outdoor activities in order to encourage them to better know, appreciate and improve their ecological and social community.
