ECO-Partners Program

New to CPAWS in the 2005-2006 school year, was the introduction of the
ECO-Partners Program!

ECO-Partners : Education for Conservation and Outdoor Learning is a program designed for teachers and students who are interested in prolonged engagement and environmental stewardship.

The program consists of a teacher-training workshop along with three in-class visits and a guided hike to Kananaskis country or Fish Creek Park. It is designed to encourage teachers to put an environmental spin on their teaching and foster a sense of global citizenship among students.

As part of the ECO-Partners program, classes are encouraged to take part of CPAWS’ premier Action Challenge program to take positive action for nature. As with our other environmental programs, the ECO-Partners program is designed to be integrated with your curriculum and will help students understand their role in conserving the natural world.

With the ECO-Partners program, teachers will receive a teaching kit that includes an illustrated activity guide for their grade level, a teacher's guide to community action, as well as brochures and posters to extend the experience in the classroom. The ECO-Partners Program costs $300 (Cdn) (plus GST) per class.
