Kaslo and District Community Forest Society $19,910

The Kaslo and District Community Forest Society (KDCFS) and JV Humphries Primary-Secondary School (JVH) in Kaslo will develop a school/community forest educational interface program. The project goal is to develop a sequence of curriculum activities and experiences for Kindergarten through Grade 12 that will utilize the Community Forest lands and related activities of the KDCFS to build student knowledge of functioning forest ecosystems, awareness of the full range of values requiring consideration in forest management, and the contributions that the Community Forest makes to our lives. This curriculum will be integrated with the Ministry of Education learning from the previous year. In addition to developing this knowledge base, it is believed that participation in vibrant, classroom and field trip experiences will build a sense of environmental stewardship, particularly related to our forest resources. By generating this capacity within the youth of the community, our hope is that it will spread to the community as a whole.
