We help your class create a schoolyard planting site that acts as a mini-climate change outdoor classroom/lab – an easily accessible teaching tool to complement curriculum relating to climate change. Students will collect data on the health and yearly growth of their tree plantings as they explore issues surrounding climate change locally and globally. Hands-on involvement with the planting site throughout the process engages them and helps make the issues of climate change relevant to them at a level of complexity they can understand.
Teachers who want to address climate change and plant trees on their schoolyards, which are often wide open lawns and sports fields with little tree cover, can engage their students in this practical way. The outdoor classroom/lab supports geography, math, science, world studies and next year’s curriculum focus on climate change.
Our program is funded by Environment Canada’s EcoAction Community Funding Program, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Earth Day Canada Community Environment Fund.
