Carolinian Forest Festival

The Carolinian Forest Festival is a three day event that teaches grade 6 and 7 students the importance of the Carolinian Life Zone, forest ecosystems, species at risk, stewardship and conservation, and climate change through hands-on, interactive activities linked to the Ontario Curriculum.  The goal of the Festival is to allow students to connect and relate to their local natural environment while motivating behavioural changes and encouraging students to become good land stewards.

The Carolinian Forest Festival will be held from October 4-6, 2011 at Jaffa Environmental Education Centre and Springwater Conservation Area.  Approximately 1,500 students will participate from across Elgin, Middlesex and Oxford Counties.
