Looking for organic farms and rain barrel builders in Calgary, AB
19 April 2009A couple of days ago I received a request from a teacher in Calgary who is looking for good learning experience for his students. While teaching in Guelph this teacher and his students went for a field trip where they took a tour of a working organic farm and built rain barrels on a volunteer basis. This outing was deemed to be a huge success by the teacher and his students and he would like to take what he learned in Guelph and apply it to his new class in Calgary.
This teacher is looking for 2 things (in the Calgary area):
1 - Volunteer opportunities where the students would build rain barrels and learn about water conservation practices and techniques.
2 - Tours of a working organic farm.
If you know of such opportunities send me an email and I will pass along your contact info. We also hope to have a post about the experiences detailing how other teachers can provide a similar experience for their own students.
