    “Here, birdy, birdy!” The grade 6 students from Scarborough’s St. Henry Catholic School who visited Claremont Field Centre in November 2014 based their action project on birds.

    After researching local and endangered bird species, they decided to install two bird feeders in their schoolyard.  The students have taken responsibility for refilling the feeders, keeping them clean, and monitoring the biodiversity.

    The school community of roughly 330 staff and students has enjoyed observing all the birds that visit the feeders too! With a hawk as school mascot and a great action project, St. Henry really IS all about the birds!

    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!
