ACAP Saint John offers in-person presentations and workshops on various environmental topics, such as climate change, freshwater ecosystems and watersheds, waste management and climate action. Our educators will visit your classroom and engage your students with interactive activities, demonstrations, and discussions that align with the curriculum outcomes. We can also customize our presentations and workshops to suit your specific needs and interests.
ACAP Saint John invites you to join us for a field trip to one of our outdoor locations, where you can explore the natural environment and learn about its importance and challenges. We have several sites to choose from, such as the Irving Nature Park, the Marsh Creek Wetland, the Reversing Falls, and the Saint John Harbour. At each site, we will guide you through various activities, such as hiking, fishing, birdwatching, water quality testing, and more. You will need to arrange your own transportation and bring appropriate clothing and equipment for the weather and terrain.

"Fairlight Farm & Forest Centre is run by Leah ""Sparrow"" Houghton, who has extensive teaching experience in outdoor settings and specializes in survival skills and farm animals. The many farm animals (horses, pigs, chickens, cow, goats, pony) are a big draw, as children can participate in chores and learn about livestock care and food security. The farm also has an outdoor classroom and multiple camps in the 40 acres of mixed hardwood/softwood forest and a stream for exploring.
This program is designed to get youth excited about biodiversity conservation, through a multi-faceted educational approach highlighting the importance of healthy, functioning ecosystems!
Students will get to use a Water Rangers kit to take water quality samples from the Hammond River- they will learn the concepts of testing water’s pH, conductivity, salinity, temperature, and alkalinity. They will be Citizen Scientists for the day!
New Brunswick is lucky to experience relatively clean air, but it remains a growing threat. More people are turning to wood-burning heating options to save money, and climate change is driving hotter, drier summers with more intense wildfires. As we've seen in the summer of 2023, the smoke from these fires can travel thousands of kilometres!
Air pollution affects everyone - especially children. Kids’ lungs are still developing. They breathe more quickly than adults, which means they breathe more air, and more air pollution.
We would love to engage your class in environmental education whether it's a classroom session or outdoor field trip! We have previously hosted angling activities, bioblitz adventures, and benthics (riverbed bugs) demonstrations. We can also organize a visit to one of our rain gardens or restoration sites, or involve the kids in volunteer work such as bird box building, tree planting or willow cutting. The programs we can offer are dependent on available funding, but feel free to reach out and we can determine the activity that's right for you.
