School Programs

CPAWS Southern Alberta has developed excellent curriculum-linked environmental education programs that increase awareness of Alberta’s conservation issues, and actively engage students in direct action to conserve wilderness spaces. Since 1997, we have reached over 70,000 students and teachers in the Calgary and surrounding areas. Our programs include in-class programs, hikes, and teacher workshops from Grades 3-12 focusing on grizzly bear ecology and conservation, endangered species, and water conservation and stewardship. Through our programs students and teachers gain an understanding and knowledge of environmental health and conservation action. By engaging elementary and secondary school students in rich science and education experiences today, we encourage and mentor environmental stewards of tomorrow.

“I liked the fact that the guide incorporated a hands-on way of learning the information. I learned a lot about the environment and how to protect it. I would like to learn more and teach that to more people as an awareness program of my own. Three words! Keep It Up=3”- Student Westmount Charter
