This is part of an effort to improve the Squalicum Creek watershed by restoring the riparian zone along the creek.
The students learned how to properly dig a hole for a tree, set the tree in the hole, and mulch the area around the tree. They worked in teams to plant over 50 native trees and shrubs, and then mulch them as well.
Thanks to our volunteers and of course to N-SEA for a great field trip despite the cold and the rain. We had a great time.
Dear class,
ReplyDeleteI liked the students for salmon field trip. It was fun, but our group got to plant one tree. But luckily got to help people. But on the other hand it was a down pour! There were puddles everywhere you could slip very easily. But it was a muddy field trip.

Dear Eli,
DeleteI totally agree. It was fun but it probably wasn't the best day to go and plan trees for the salmon. Did you see those kids that were under the barn washing their hands off in the water from the gutter?
Sincerely,
Neri

Dear 4th graders
ReplyDeleteYes it was fun on the field trip for students for salmon! I hope we could do something like that again.

Dear 4th graders,
ReplyDeleteWe worked really hard planting those trees for the salmon. It was a great experience but we did have to change our clothes because they were really dirty.
Sincerely,
Charlize
Dear fourth graders,
ReplyDeleteWe all did a very good job for the salmon. Maybe later in the year we can help someone else or something?
Sincerely, Ellis
Dear 4th graders,
ReplyDeleteI rely liked the video! Everyone looked like they were doing hard work. Also, everyone looked like they had ether just been swimming or they had just hoped out of the shower!

Dear, Mr. Pahl
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of fish but learning about salmon is so much fun. I have already learned a lot. But I can’t to learn more about salmon.
From Kayden,
Hi 4th graders!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe we were outside for so long when it was POURING rain! It was great to see so many students working hard to plant their trees and help clean up. Plus, no one got accidentally conked with a shovel because everyone was following safety instructions. Maybe next time we do this we can go out during the summer!
