BOOK A WILD VOICES FOR KIDS PROGRAM!
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.
Do you have any question about the Wild Voices Program? Please connect with Mia at wildvoices@cbeen.org

About the Program
Explore diversity, genetic selection and food security in this introduction to seed saving. We will go over different types of flowers, botanical terms, how plants produce seeds and selection of varieties. We will learn how to save seeds from tomatoes, lettuce, peas and squash in hands-on demos for some of these seed types depending on the season. We will explore the diversity in food plants by human selection on why it might be important to save local varieties of seeds for food security.
