Join us for a full-day field study in the breathtaking landscapes of Kananaskis Country with Alberta Parks! Designed for grade 6 students, this immersive science program dives into the Living Systems curriculum by comparing two distinct ecosystems. Students will hike 3.5 km as they engage in hands-on exploration, interactive games, and activities that uncover how abiotic and biotic features interact to form ecosystems. This field trip fosters a meaningful connection to the land while highlighting the vital role Alberta Parks plays in protecting the province’s diversity of life.
