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.

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!
"Sometimes it’s obvious when a chemical is hazardous, for example, those that cause a rash of coughing from breathing the fumes. Other chemicals cause no immediate or clear symptoms but can have some of the most insidious long-term health effects – particularly when exposure occurs in-utero or during early childhood.
The Healthy Homes project is designed to introduce families to common in-home sources of toxins and provide practical, affordable solutions to limit potentially toxic contact in their day-to-day life.
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.

The lessons can include soil science and composting, vegetable growing basics (from seed to harvest), garden habitats and conservation, pollination and pollinators, and plant anatomy. We also emphasize the importance of using organic methods for growing food.

We grow a complete range of hardy fruits, ornamental shrubs and trees, vines and perennials. We grow without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
