✨ REASON #5 to donate to Fresh Roots this giving season: Field Trips! ✨

DONATE HERE: https://freshroots.ca/its-thyme-year-end-fundraiser/

Introduction

Our schoolyard farm field trips connect over 3,000 students a year to food, the land, and each other through hands-on learning experiences. Just listen to one teacher whose class visited us this fall:

“Students were so engaged and excited to talk about all the plants and bugs they had found and several mentioned that they had not been able to just dig in the dirt since they were toddlers. You offer an incredibly valuable experience to students and I am grateful for the care and expertise of your facilitators.” – Aja Geddes, Grade 4-5 teacher

Help get students digging into more learning on local schoolyard farms!

– Andrea, Experiential Learning Program Lead at Fresh Roots
