In-School Programs
Ausable Bayfield Conservation’s conservation educators are dedicated to building relationships between youth and their natural world. During the months from November to April, ABCA staff will meet you at your school, nearby or virtual location to deliver any of the following In-School Programs.
Please feel free to consult with conservation educators to see if they can develop and deliver specialized programs to meet your curriculum needs.

Snowshoeing – In Your Schoolyard

River Safety in Your Classroom or Virtual
Keep a safe distance from creeks and rivers especially during times of fast-moving water.

The river safety program is delivered to schools at no charge thanks to the support of local municipalities.
The program teaches about safe practices near rivers and lakes.
