Privately owned front yards have the potential to be significant community-building spaces that contribute to your neighborhood and to nature. While still being a private space, front-yards arguably are a window into what you value and how you show up for your neighbours. Best Front Forward was a Helen Schuler Nature Centre campaign that ran to resounding success in March-October 2025. This recognition program was designed to both inspire and to thank residents with amazing front yards around the city. Hear from campaign coordinator Paige Rosner about the many incredible discoveries and inspiring stories to come out of this program, why it's important and how the Best Front Forward campaign became so much more than was expected.
