Environmental Education at the Edge of Algonquin Park

Northern Edge Algonquin

Ecological thought meets Action when we give students one-of-a-kind learning that combines theory with practical hands-on experiences in designing and creating environmental projects. Ontario Schools are inspired to develop their own projects once they return to their communities.

Activities at the Edge have included developing ecological policies and procedures, conducting environmental assessments, facility design, trail development, rehabilitation and gardening, designing rooftop gardens, implementing ecologically appropriate practices, orienteering, nature interpretation, and Council of All Beings; an experience where environmental elements speak through mask-wearing student participants.

Northern Edge Algonquin, our off-the-grid environmental school in Ontario, has been receiving national and international attention for its ecological design and operation and we often make trips to schools to teach about our environmental practices.
