Thank you for the things you gave us. I can’t wait to get started! The project looks so great. I can’t wait to tell you all about what happens in our schoolyard. I am already feeling good about this project.
My job is to blog about our experiences.

Good morning,
We are glad to be trying this project and are excited about receiving our Malaise trap!!
We are a little worried about the amount of snow that we still have…1-2 meters (yikes). Do any other schools still have snow on the ground?
JPCI’s Grade 11 Biology students have decided on the perfect location for our Malaise Trap…. the school garden! After a survey of the school grounds, the students voted unanimously that this location would likely have the highest insect traffic. The garden is currently being prepped for spring planting activities. Both the students and the PACT Grow to Learn program staff are « bugging » out with excitement to learn more about the insect diversity in the garden.
