Roots to Grow Nature Learning

Roots to Grow Nature Learning Welcome to Roots to Grow Nature Learning. We are a part time Distributed Learning Program. We are a community of learners, based in beautiful Yarrow, BC.

Students must be enrolled in our school and parents are asked to volunteer on rotation Geared towards Grades K-5. We offer a part time nature based learning opportunity. We range from forests to farms to wetlands and through communities. Learning as we grow! Our Mission:

To enrich the educational experience through student-centered, nature-focused, community-based learning. Our Vision:

Cultivate respect for the natural world through connecting children to the land. Foster relationships with those who connected with the land before us and acknowledge that our programs take place on unceded Sto:lo territory. Create space for children to challenge their minds and bodies through child-led and experiential learning. Encourage regenerative/permaculture principles to environmental stewardship. Provide a multi-generational learning space where both children and teachers are respected as having equal value. Recognize the importance of arts and culture by supporting learning through visual arts and associated storytelling. Support the natural state of compassion based on the principals of nonviolent communication. We look forward to connecting with you!

Writing with burnt wood was a highlight last class. So this class we tried the method of heating sticks over the fire with low oxygen to make charcoal pencils. Many broke to smaller pieces. We guess that some tree species hold up better than others. The fire was created with flint, steel and much persistence!

These trees were planted our first year. The alders are at least 20' now.
