The Habitat Tour is an interactive watershed education field trip led by Battle River Watershed Alliance that promotes exploration of five unique types of ecosystems at Big Knife Provincial Park. The tour promotes activity-based learning on important habitat and watershed topics, such as invasive, endangered and native species, as well as discussing changing climate, complexity of ecosystems and the biotic and abiotic factors that influence them. The Habitat Tour is designed based on Alberta’s Grade 6 science curriculum with a focus on Earth and Living Systems. Students, teachers and volunteers learn about various ecosystems through discussion, observation, and scientific methods. A Teachers’ Guide with details about the program and additional activities and background information is available on request.
