For the 2020-2021 school year we have a COVID-19 policy in place.

The Wild Voices team is carefully planning for a safe return to working with students and teachers. Our booking system is open for teachers to begin planning and scheduling with educators.
At this time we ask teachers to request booking dates from October 5, 2020 onwards to allow time for us to prepare based on needs as they emerge in September. We also 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.

About the Program
Students will walk to Wildflower Park to search for wildflowers in bloom. We will take a close look at the orchids and other flowering plants blooms and observe pollination in action. Students will participate in role playing activities to learn how flowers work, and their importance to ecosystem function. Students will:
- participate in a journaling activity where they draw and describe a flower;
- learn to identify a few local wild flowers;
- learn to identify and manage invasive flowering plants.
