Throughout May and June Project Watershed will be taking elementary school classes out on field trips to learn about estuary and coastal ecology and to assist with planting and plant maintenance.
Kus-kus-sum Fieldtrip Volunteers
We are taking a group of grade 7 students to the Kus-kus-sum site to learn about estuary ecology and function and assist with planting and plant maintenance. We are looking for volunteers to help facilitate this event by assisting students in completing different activities including planting, plant maintenance, plant identification, and water testing. Training provided!
Spring Education Program and Field Trips
Project Watershed’s “Students Keeping It Living in the Comox Valley” education and engagement program has been met with a huge amount of interest this year as over 50 classes were eager to participate. With funds from TD Friends of the Environment, Peninsula COOP, BC Gaming and Habitat Conservation Trust Fund (link each), we hope to be able to offer our program to 30 of these classes (over 600 students) this spring.
Field Trip Assistants
We are looking for volunteers to assist with environmental education field trips.
Keeping It Living Field Trips
An outing to either the Courtenay River Airpark, Goose Spit, Kus-kus-sum or Simms Millennium Park where students participate in educational and stewardship activities at different stations.
