Thirty two youth from ten Ottawa area schools joined us for our first module of our Biodiversity Mentorship Program. We wish to particularly thank our partners from Notre Dame Catholic, St. Patrick's High School, Henry Larson Public, and Devonshire Public for their assistance. The program was taught by science educator Michael Leveille. Mr. Leveille is also the Director of Biodiversitymatters.org.
The youth had the opportunity to view our in-school nature museum.
We had an absolutely beautiful morning to explore the Macoun Marsh.
One youth found a Buffalo Treehopper (Ceresa alta)
We had a bit of excitement when a rare European mantis (Mantis religiosa) landed on the head of one of our visitors!
Our next class on the Connections between Biodiversity and our Daily Lives will be on October 15th.
