With the generous support of our donors, Toronto Field Naturalists, Midge Cooper and the Leonard and Gabryela Osin Foundation, the Toronto Botanical Garden offers LIVING WINTER, a free program and transportation for grade four classes in high needs communities throughout Toronto. The LIVING WINTER program runs from November to February and takes place in The James Boyd Children’s Centre and the surrounding grounds. It provides innovative, curriculum-linked habitat programs for children and encourages students to appreciate urban green space from new perspectives through immersion and hands-on learning.

During their visit Grade 4 students may:

• Explore outdoor winter habitats
• Discover a day in the life of the creatures in and around Edwards Gardens
• Hand feed chickadees
• Learn about owls and dissect owl pellets
• Examine pelts, skulls and animal tracks

ATTENTION TEACHERS!
Be sure to download the pre and post activities to compliment your visit.

Appropriate outdoor winter wear will be provided to any students who cannot bring adequate clothing to ensure their safety and enjoyment of the outdoor components of the program.
