Many students at Stoney Creek can walk along forest trails and identify trees by the seeds and cones they find on the paths. They are learning to distinguish between deciduous varieties and coniferous that grow around our school.
Intermediate students also use reference books to learn about how trees have been used by local Indigenous People to make rain hats from the roots of Sitka Spruce trees, paddles from the Big Leaf Maple and more. Winter is a great time to learn about the oldest and largest living species on Earth — trees.
