Learning Opportunities 

Throughout the year Metro Vancouver hosts a series of ongoing scheduled family nature programs, adult skill workshops, lectures and tours. We also offer specific teacher workshops and resources.

Through our diverse selection of programs we can:

  • enhance elementary or secondary school curricula
  • provide captivating workshops for parents and teachers
  • assist and train recreational programmers
  • explore Guide and Scout badge topics
  • expand the vocabulary of ESL students
  • enhance nature appreciation for adults and seniors
  • develop outdoor exploration and survival skills for teens

Our objectives for the LSCR Watershed Education programs are:

  • to communicate the specific purpose of the LSCR, which is to maintain its capacity as a water reserve;
  • to educate the public about the sustainable management of this unique area, which requires the balance of many environmental, social, and economic considerations, such as: wildlife and forest management, research and demonstration activities, recreation, and interpretation;
  • to provide an impacting experience with the opportunity for people to connect with the LSCR, so that they can become better stewards of it and of the earth’s resources.
