YES Club presents:
Forest Ecosystems
Wander beneath green canopies and among the lush understory and woodland critters to discover the hidden secrets that keep Colorado’s Forests flourishing
Grow Together
This semester, 4th and 5th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of one of Colorado’s main ecosystems: the forest. Over 11-13 weeks, YES club members will build relationships with their peers while they learn and go on field trips! With weekly lessons focused on a topic related to forest habitats, students will learn everything about forest ecosystems from how to safely use fire to exploring the health of local forests.
