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.
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
Explore your school garden by harvesting, planting, observing and doing experiments! This program is teacher, school and class specific, but activities might include planting seasonal vegetables, harvesting, preparing food, making compost, doing soil experiments, designing garden spaces and saving seeds. This is an opportunity to get your hands dirty while going deeper into the curriculum, food systems and ecology.
