Due to recent CBEEN program funding changes, we will now offer price options for Wild Voices for Kids programs.

Please select the price option that suits your needs, knowing that some schools don’t have access to the financial resources that others do.

More programs will be added throughout August and early September. Stay tuned!

We ask that teachers ensure that a program does not violate their school and/or district policies before booking.  It is the responsibility of the teacher to confirm program suitability and communicate needs and questions to the Community Educator that is delivering the program.

About the Program
Attune to the life of trees in an exploration into the special life of these gentle giants and how important they are to us. We will learn about the life cycles of trees and students will adopt a tree and explore the special connection we have with them.

This is a field trip and bussing will be necessary if there is not a local habitat to explore. We would be taking the class to a forest nearby.

About the Community Educator
Shannon Bennett has a BSc in Earth Sciences and I has been working in environmental education since the early 80's as a Park Naturalist in Alberta and BC Parks. She loves to inspire, engage, connect, and motivate students to discover and explore their wild local bioregions, to develop curiosity, knowledge, awareness and appreciation of where they live.

"A great day of learning. Shanoon is a wealth of information and kept a wide range of students engaged. Many thanks. " - Catherine Locke
"Shanoon absolutely knows her stuff. She brought a visual aid (the river model) and had each of my students have a turn pouring water to make a 'river' and engaged them with understanding how trees are vital to healthy rivers and not flooding. I loved how frequently she stopped along the trail and had the kids engaged in something different... like looking for rattlesnake bandaid plantain, the rings of trees for their age, and animal homes. We loved the games we played in the field with Shanoon too! My K/1 class loved our time!" - Emily Newbery
"Shanoon is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about this topic. She came prepared to share her knowledge, as well as to engage students in activities and games. They had a lot of fun! Thank you Shanoon :)" - Charlotte Soles
