Charitable education society creating field trip opportunities for schools
Inside Education makes their way to the Grande Prairie area twice a year to provide programming for students to do face-to-face learning related to the environment and natural resources.
Educator with the organization, Andre Morson says the Evergreen Learning and Innovation Centre is one of the many places they can connect teachers with no-cost programming.
“This particular demo forest was set up basically to show different innovative ideas that industry has come up with to use, manage, collect resources and restore the forest. All of the different features of the learning centre are innovative ways that aren’t traditionally used in forestry practices.”
He says it adds enrichment and is important for students to get those hands-on experiences.
