    Ever heard of a “MOEnarch Garden”?

    Grade 6 students from St. John Vianney Catholic School chose this creative name for their new schoolyard butterfly garden, after meeting Moe and his staff at the Albion Hills Field Centre during a three-day visit in April 2014.

    Congratulations to these Schoolyard Biodiversity Grant recipients for their work in supporting local pollinators!
