This video highlights one of the core City to Sanctuary experiences: guided nature hikes. These repeated, immersive outings create the conditions for increased focus, wellbeing, and connection—key outcomes we consistently observe across participating schools.

This short video captures a moment from our bird banding experience—one of the many ways students connect with the living world through City to Sanctuary. For many, it’s their first time this close to wildlife. In these moments, curiosity, care, and a sense of belonging begin to take root.
