What can a mountain teach us? Look! There’s a small hill, a wide lake, a deep valley, flat prairie, and a towering mountain. Everywhere we go in Alberta there are incredible landforms and landscapes to explore.
In this program, students hike ~2 km along the trails of Beauvais Lake Provincial Park with frequent stops to observe the land and discover how plants and animals survive. Through movement, storytelling, and creative reflection, students learn that everything on Earth — rocks, water, plants, and animals — works together to support life. Paying attention to the land teaches us about the past, the present, and how to care for the future.

Landforms, water, plants, and animals interact to support life. Observing patterns in the environment helps us to understand how living and non-living things are connected. Water moves through the land and shapes ecosystems over time. Stories and cultural knowledge help us understand and care for the land. Humans can have positive or negative impacts on plants, animals, and landscapes. |
