2020-2021 Courtyard Habitat and Living Wall, A.E. Bowers Elementary School, Airdrie

Grade 4 students are learning about pollinators and native species this year through their Student Action Challenge project. They will start seedlings this fall in their indoor hydroponic planters before moving them outside to the Living Wall in the spring. Plants will be chosen specifically to support Alberta pollinator species. During the winter months, students will create bat and birdhouses to help support biodiversity in their schoolyard, creating a more diverse and resilient ecosystem. Through learning about local plants and animals, this project will support life-long love of nature that will inspire students to make environmentally conscious choices in the future.
