Our Trips

BC Biodiversity - In Person

British Columbia is rich in plants, animals, and habitats! This program explores the concept of biodiversity with a fun indoor introduction, followed by a hands-on outdoor field study. By exploring microhabitats in the park, students gain an appreciation for the biodiversity of the rainforest and discover how different animals and plants survive in this wet and diverse environment.

Rainforest Biodiversity Study - In Person

The coastal temperate rainforest is a rare and diverse ecosystem. Your class will compare two different rainforest sites, and explore the biodiversity of this ecosystem firsthand! This program allows students to become familiar with native trees and plants by measuring their diversity along transects in the forest. Students will help design a hypothesis for the study, collect field data, and then participate in a brief analysis of what they have found. They’ll experience a glimpse into the practical side of field biology that will help them understand the complex relationships that exist in forest habitats and the science of measuring them. This program works well for classes studying plant biology, geography, or temperate rainforest ecology. This program runs from 10am to 1230pm

Investigating Stream Life - In Person

Water quality affects us all, especially those animals that make water their home. Through invertebrate sampling and simple chemical tests, students will gain insight into the water quality of small creeks in Lynn Canyon Park. Students will learn how certain invertebrate species are connected to good water quality and will analyse their finding to calculate a water quality index. This look into a local creek will impress upon students just how many living organisms rely on healthy aquatic ecosystems. This program works well for classes studying animal biology, human-environment interactions, and aquatic ecosystems. This program runs from 10am to 1230pm.
