About the Program
Discover the history and significance of wetland ecosystems during the settlement of the West and the vital functions they perform today. Students are introduced to the flow of water from precipitation to its entrance to the water table, and some of the local flora and fauna found along the way. Your class will investigate invertebrate life by pond dipping in our own Bissett Wetlands. The social studies component of the program will take place in our Learning Lab in Gasoline Alley. This portion focuses on how water was used by Indigenous groups and the settlers. Exploring how these two groups viewed and used water will be explored through stories and hand-on activities.
