Manitoba-curriculum linked Backpacks are available to borrow at different Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) – Manitoba chapter events thanks to a recent partnership with Watersheds Canada. Each Backpack includes activities and field equipment, such as a water quality test kit, magnifying glass, collection jar, binoculars, and identification guides. The contents will help increase student engagement and identification skills regarding local species, and contribute to local environmental sustainability knowledge and action.
Want to extend learning at home but don’t live close to Winnipeg? You can download a free Nature Discovery Backpack Manitoba workbook which will help get you started on outdoor adventures in your own neighbourhood!
