Ellis Nature Centre - blue shed for school programs

Ellis Nature Centre is ready to jump right back into the school year with you, featuring two different school program options for the fall! Both programs are available September 9 to October 10th afternoons from 12-2pm. At this time, we are only accepting school groups of grade 5 and/or grade 6 students. Registration is open immediately!

Registration is now closed. Thanks for your interest!

Option 1: Wetland Exploration

Come with us into the wonderful world of wetlands! In this program we will talk about different types of wetlands; discover the plants, animals, and insects that call wetlands home; identify the various living and nonliving things that contribute to the wetland ecosystem; investigate water quality; and discuss watersheds and environmental issues affecting water quality and quantity.

Option 2: Tree Exploration

Calling all forest adventurers! Join us as we venture into the aspen parklands and  identify the many tree species that contribute to the biodiversity of our local forests. Learn how to identify trees based on their bark, leaves, and needles. We’ll also discover the types of birds, animals, and insects which call the forest home.

Thank you for your interest in our fall school program. We’re currently fully booked for Fall 2024. If you’d like to be added to a waitlist, please email booking@ellisnaturecentre.ca.
