2020-2021 Indigenous Learning Garden, Christina Gordon Public School, Fort McMurray

Students and teachers at Christina Gordon Public school have noticed a lack of natural space and functioning ecosystems around their school and are determined to create a change. They will be redesigning their current garden to include native plants, increasing the biodiversity and resiliency of the ecosystem. Students will be also plant trees and shrubs that can provide shelter for wildlife and natural wind coverage for the outdoor learning spaces. Students will research, design, and post educational signs for staff and other classes to use when planning and facilitating lessons and that can educate the community about the project.
