Exploring the Impact of Hands-On Environmental Stewardship

Our students visited Max Lake in West Bench to team up once again with the experts at the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS). Together, they learned to identify and remove a variety of invasive species — and, this time, they also helped plant native species to support a healthier local ecosystem!

Invasive species are an important issue right here in our own backyard. This hands-on experience connected our students’ learning to the local environment and our curriculum, exploring biodiversity, how different forms of life interact, and how species co-evolve.

A big thank you to OASISS for sharing their expertise and helping our students make a positive impact in our community!
