Our Trips

Fall in the Forest

Leaves, fruits, and rain all fall in the fall! What changes are happening with the plants, animals, and people in the forest as the season of growth turns to the season of rest?

Student Team Build - Coquitlam

Team Builds are a chance for students (and teachers and chaperones!) to get their hands really dirty and give back to the land. This program includes an introduction to Fresh Roots and the many things we do, and plenty of time to work on projects around the forest and farm, from weeding to invasive species removal and more. Exact projects will vary depending on the group and the needs of the site.

Farm Observers

During the October visit of this year-long program, students will start building a relationship with the farm space. They will develop long-lasting connections with the land and its cycles and slow down and really observe and enjoy the world around them. Classes will practice a variety of naturalist and observation skills on their farm visit throughout the school year.

Dirt Made My Lunch

Learn about the nutrient cycle, soil composition, and compost food webs, and see how they all come together to make delicious, nutritious food!

Custom Field Trip

Get outside and get a custom taste of what the farm is all about! If you are interested in a field trip longer than two hours or would like to work with our Experiential Learning Manager to craft a program to meet your learning objectives, get in touch and we will get in touch to figure out how we can help make it happen!
