Working in teams, students will take on challenges that require observation, listening, memory and cooperation.
In this program that spans the entire school year, students grow saplings from seeds, and learn about the importance of urban flora. The program begins with a guided excursion on the mountain, during which students harvest seeds. They then plant them and tend the young shoots and tree saplings in the classroom. The year ends with a final visit to Mount Royal.
