Wings and waves – saving the butterflies in Port Stanley
Vision
To teach grade 3 and 4 students about butterflies in the butterfly garden. Students work towards preserving the milkweed for the butterflies and cattails for the wetlands. Our class had a field trip to a wetland and our now aware that the cattails are becoming extinct as well as the monarch butterflies
Action
Grade 3 and 4 students would like to create an environment for butterflies to come to and breed. We would like to start milkweed plants, butterfly bushes as well as cattails to save the wetlands that are behind our school yard.
