Classroom Mini Marsh
 WHAT IS THE CLASSROOM MINI MARSH PROGRAM?
For the 19th consecutive year, the Bay Area Restoration Council (BARC) and Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) are offering free Mini Marsh kits
that include instructions, different types of rooted marsh plants, a bowl, gravel and a snail. Just plant the shoots in the gravel, maintain the water level
in the bowl, and watch your Mini Marsh grow. At the end of the school year, the plants can be returned to the RBG Nature Centre for planting in Cootes Paradise marsh, connecting students with
the restoration of this Hamilton Harbour ecosystem.
WHY BRING A MARSH INTO YOUR CLASSROOM?
The Classroom Mini Marsh can assist teachers in meeting student learning expectations in the Science and Technology component of both the elementary and secondary curriculum. The teacher workshop highlights the importance of marshes and wetlands to theecological health of our watershed, and provides an update on the restoration progress of Cootes Paradise Marsh.
