Canadian Biodiversity Institute

With the Tree Canada Foundation  presents a

SCHOOL GROUNDS TRANSFORMATION TRAINING COURSE

SEPTEMBER 28-30, 2001
HALIFAX REGION, NOVA SCOTIA

Teachers, principals, parents, grounds management staff and students from schools from the Maritimes are invited to participate in this intimate school grounds transformation planning process with the renowned Canadian School Grounds Educator Ann Coffey. 

Ann is the originator of the school grounds movement in Canada and now works on this initiative for the Canadian Biodiversity Institute based in Ottawa.  She is mentor to many across North America and has a commitment to this movement second to none.

Participants will learn how to conduct people and site surveys, create a to-scale model of their schoolyard, visit an outstanding example of a "green" school, make assessments of schoolyards, draw on community resources and learn how to plant for tree survival on school grounds.
