Watershed Field Trips to the Nanaimo and Englishman River Watersheds

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Watershed Field Trips are back this Fall for Grades 4 and 5 in School District 68 & 69!

Call 250-390-6560 or email watersmart@rdn.bc.ca to book this experience for your Grade 4 or 5 class! Limited number of trips available.

To promote watershed education in our region, we are taking students out of the classroom and into their drinking watershed! Students will participate in various fun activities that focus on a sensory experience of the river, the forest, the reservoir, the watershed ecosystems and make important connections to their everyday life. Hop on our bus to discover the landscape that water travels through before it comes out of the tap!

This full-day trip is available to Grade 4 & 5 classes in School Districts 68 and 69, as it is designed to be strongly connected to Life & Earth Science PLOs. It includes a pre-trip and post-trip curriculum connected activity guide for teachers to extend the learning experience. Bus transportation will be provided to and from your school.

Trips run to the Englishman River (SD69) or the Nanaimo River (SD68) in May, June, September and October.
