The following ideas are great ways to integrate students into real-world experiences that will benefit the community:
Ski Hills/Parks
Wildlife/Ecosystem Preservation & Sustainability
Ski Hills/Parks
- Volunteer picking up sticks, deadfall, and invasive species at local ski hills or parks in preparation for the ski or mountain bike season.
- Have students help out at a local gear swap. They can set up stands, place equipment, and direct people where they can go and what to do.
Wildlife/Ecosystem Preservation & Sustainability
- Paint Yellow Fish at Storm Drains around the community. Have a QR code for people to read up on more information on this initiative.
- Creating Actions Plans and Writing Letters to the local government about wildlife safety/preservation.
- Place more bear bins around community.
- Welding students can create their own bearbins.
- Where to put bird feeders.
- Designing compost program.
- Place more bear bins around community.
- "Leave No Trace" Signs on trail heads, parks, towns and cities.
- Reflective Hazard Signs to place on local highways where there is high animal crossing traffic.
- Trail Maps for trail heads.
- A Place Inspired Soundscape or Land Acknowledgement
- Fruit Tree Removal
- Endangered species protection and signs
- Wildfire Community Preparedness Day (FireSmart Canada)
