Interpretive Field Trip Guides
This is an educational field resource for the outdoor education teacher or inquisitive hiker that would like to add an educational component to their day hike. Each Field Trip Guide will have an interpretive theme connected to a trail alongside GPS coordinates for points of interest. Themes will be based on a combination of natural and human history unique to that location. Interpretive Field Trip Guides can also be connected to specific Alberta curriculum outcomes, have grade/age appropriate recommendations, and a checklist of important information for pre-trip planning. If you do not work in the educational field this is still a great resource to add interest and intrigue on your next day hike.
