Join Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and Parcs Canada for a guided wetland field trip at the beautiful Cascade Ponds. Get ready to catch and identify invertebrates from the wetland, use binoculars to observe birds and other wildlife, contribute to citizen science and play a wetland biodiversity game. These activities can be adapted for elementary and high school students. Educators will gain skills and confidence to conduct engaging and educational experiences that promote well-being and mindfulness, connection to the natural world, ecological awareness and climate change solutions. Participants will also better understand wetland ecosystems and their pivotal role in mitigating climate change. By the end of this field trip, participants will leave with practical skills, resources, and insights to create memorable outdoor learning experiences at wetlands and in nature to enrich the education of their students.
Please note, that attendees are responsible for transportation to the starting point.
