UBC Farm Discovery Tours
Offered by UBC Farm and last updated on May 02, 2013.
Description
Every fall and spring, the UBC Farm offers field trips and programming for children and youth groups ranging from preschool to secondary grade levels. These programs focus on a variety of issues that revolve around where food comes from, how we grow food, and the social, ecological, and community connections and responsibilities toward our shared food systems.
FarmDiscovery Tours provide an opportunity for student groups to see a working organic farm, learn about organic farming techniques, and discuss important social and ecological aspects of human food production in our local area. Please see below for descriptions of the tours we will be offering.
For descriptions of the FarmDiscovery tours we offer and the specific BC Ministry of Education Prescribed Learning Outcomes (PLOs) that are covered on a tour, please see the registration link on our webpage. http://farmwonders.ca/our-programs/farmdiscoverytours/
