Waste management
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.
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.

Nous avons un nouvel effort de sensibilisation qui eut un succès énorme - nous avons apporté notre science à vous! Les employés de ABVP sont allé à au-dela de 30 réunions de groupe, bureaux minicipaux, salles de classe et plus pour partager notre travail récent et ses résultats. La tournée de présentations se passa lors des mois d'hiver quand nous sommes incapables d'aller sur le terrain. Au lieu, nous sommes dans la communauté!
The Mobile Laboratory is an extension of the Homarus Eco-Centre, which allows us to visit you directly in the classroom. The presentations are realized with the help of living marine organisms to offer educational and interactive activities that fall into the school science curriculum. One hour sessions will inspire science awakening and education through observation, manipulation and interaction with an expert in the field.
Le Laboratoire Mobile est une extension de l'Écocentre Homarus qui nous permet de vous rendre visite directement en salle de classe. Les présentations sont accompagnées d'organismes vivants du milieu marin côtier afin d'animer des activités éducatives et interactives qui s'intègrent dans les programmes d'études de sciences. Des sessions d'environ une heure encourageront l'initiation et l'enseignement des sciences par le biais d'observations, de manipulations et d'échanges avec un expert dans le domaine.
We have an ongoign outreach effort that was hugely successful- we brought our science to you! PWA staff went to over 30 group meetings, municipal offices, school classrooms and more to share our most recent work and results. The roadshow took place over the winter months when we aren't able to be out in the field. Instead, we are out in the community!
Our subject matter varies from general watershed geography, to specific local species at risk; water quality, pollution, storm water initiatives; fish habitat assessment and remediation; and local ecological knowledge.
Great Minds Think Outside is a hands-on, curriculum-linked, outdoor professional development program that will give teachers and educators the skills, tools, and resources they need to teach their students outside – whatever the subject matter!
