Land Reclamation In The Classroom - Educating Through Game
Thursday February 27, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am MST
Centre High - Room 312
How do we teach the next generation to reclaim disturbed land, to heal the Earth? With increasing environmental pressures, everyone must understand the importance of land reclamation. Join Valerie Miller, PhD, and Julie Arsenault, science teacher, to explore “Become An Earth Doctor”. This game allows participants to become land reclamation practitioners, walking them through key steps and decisions. Participants will be introduced to land reclamation, explore gameplay, learn how to connect to real life examples including those experienced on Indigenous lands, and gain access to free resources.
