Connect to Place with meaningful learning through Invasive Species Education!
In this session, you will participate in hands-on, curriculum-linked activities that provide your students with opportunities to develop deeper connections to nature and inspire them to care for and steward the land by learning about and taking action on invasive species in their community.
Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to BC’s biodiversity and have enormous ecological, social, and economic impacts. In an age of overwhelming environmental issues, students can feel empowered, hopeful and learn that they can make a difference by participating in invasive species and action projects.
Our engaging team of presenters, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and the Invasive Species Council of BC, will share how invasive species impact our region and what you and your students can do to make a difference. You will leave this session with resources to inspire you and your students, including lesson plans, games, videos, project ideas and ‘Monday Ready’ activities (and maybe even one of our great door prizes!).
