Healthy Backyards is a one-hour-long, free, environmental education program designed specifically for community leagues and their members. The program is customized to each neighbourhood and its greenspaces.
Using props, visuals and Ritchie's own flora and fauna, this presentation will teach you about:
What species are present in our area (both plants and animals)
The role each species plays in the ecosystem and how they depend on one another
How to peacefully coexist with wildlife and how to have healthy interactions
What to do if you encounter an injured, ill or orphaned animal
What we can do everyday in our own backyards to help wildlife, promote biodiversity, and support a healthy ecosystem!
HEALTHY BACKYARDS
It is more important than ever for us to understand the impact our actions have on the environment, and it starts within our communities. The Healthy Backyards program helps educate our members and guests about the positive impact they can have on our wild neighbours and the ecosystem with small changes and knowledge-sharing.
From keeping communities free of litter to planting native vegetation and reducing pesticide use, there are countless ways our communities can help ensure the health of local wildlife and the environment. These concepts can be daunting, but if we start small—in our own backyards—we can make a huge impact together.
