How are we conserving our natural environments? You will participate in a variety of hands-on experiential activities that reinforce the importance of plants in ecosystems and how to support conservation. What are the purposes of plant parts? How are plants responding and adapting to their surroundings and ecosystems? What can we, as scientists, do to ensure their survival? Students will record their findings in a field journal, create an ecosystem display, and continue their field research after the program with their very own seedlings that they will pot to take home.

Participants will investigate biomes around the world at the Muttart Conservatory, and make observations on how ecosystems adapt and the factors used in sustainable ecosystems. Participants will apply this with hands-on experiments looking at the soil, water, and cellular structures of plants and the factors which affect them. They will then be asked to take on the role of governing bodies to determine how they would conserve our endangered grasslands in a changing landscape and changing climate.
