students study
conservation
BY ALLAN HARRISON
The grade five to eight science
classes at East Wawanosh Public
School under the direction of Allan
Harrison have made a significant
contribution to the cause of
conservation over the past two
years.
As a result of numerous conver
sation related activities the entire
group has become very conscious
of the need to work towards
educating the general public about
the many concerns that are
damaging our environment. Stu
dents feel they must take steps now
to ensure that our non-renewable
resources are in fact conserved and
also move towards putting legisla
tion into effect to either curb, solve,
or eliminate the various problems
like acid rain, depletion of the
ozone layer, the green house
effect, transportation of nuclear
waste and all types of water and air
pollution.
Recently students received word
from the Ontario Federation of
Hunters and Anglers that they
placed second in the Province for
the Ministry of Natural Resources
Junior Conservation Trophy com
petition . The competition was open
to all schools and groups from
across Ontario with the mandate to
recognize groups for their work in
the area of conservation.
Last year the classes took part in
the annual “Pitch In’’ campaign in
which they picked up ail the litter
around the schoolyard and sur
rounding area. They also partici-
patedinthe Ministry of Natural
Resources essay and poster con
tests. In addition, they also
participated in programs at the
Wawanosh Nature Centre spon
sored by the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority.
As a part of their science
curriculum they also studied the
Belgrave Creek and completed ten
different water quality tests. Fifty
white pine trees were planted in
the schoolyard with idea of starting
an arboretum. Other activities
included picking tree seed, read
ing articles, viewing films and
inviting speakers to address topics
of concern. Units which the classes
particularly enjoyed were on such
topics as Ecology, Ecosystems,
Trees, Ecozones of Canada, Wild
life in Jeopardy and the Classifica
tion and Characteristics of Ani
mals.
The classes have come to realize
that nature attempts to keep all the
various ecosystems in balance and
if upset the food webs may be
destroyed and the ecosystems
cease. They are also very aware of
the numerous environmental con
cerns and in their small way are
attempting to make the Members
of Parliament aware by writing
letters.
The school is committed to the
cause of conservation and recently
nursed a sick, Screech Owl back to
health and released it back to
nature. The school plans to
continue its program and hopefully
others will appreciate the concern
and lend a hand to improve the
environmentfor all wildlife and
mankind.
