For the past few years, Les amis de la montagne , whose mission is to protect and enhance Mount Royal, has offered nature art walks for the public and youth groups. During the walks, participants spend time drawing the surroundings and creating artworks using natural materials. Art puts them in touch with nature. The specific dynamics of the creative process involve changes in the way we perceive time and space. The process helps us reconnect with the environment, others and ourselves. This type of approach – sensitive, symbolic, holistic, even existential – could be used in educational activities about the environment to help restore our fundamental values and facilitate the transition to a sustainable future.
