Empower students with an exciting biodiversity curriculum

A project-based & highly engaging curriculum

Students take on the role of restoration ecologists to figure out how to increase the biodiversity of their own schoolyard. Through hands-on lessons they figure out that planting native plants restores a complex food web.

“It’s the most exciting unit we do all year.”
