TEACHING KIDS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

Released on June 5, 2001

The Spruce Krew Kids Klub environmental youth stewardship Passport Program

was launched today at Condie Nature Refuge to coincide with Canadian

Environment Week activities.



"This program helps young people develop and increase stewardship of park

resources and surroundings through their direct participation in

stewardship activities," Environment and Resource Management Minister

Buckley Belanger said. "This initiative also encourages people to become

involved in meaningful activities that help to protect our recreational

areas."



The Passport Program will involve youth ages six to 13, who will carry out

activities that include learning about, participating in, and contributing

to environmental responsibility in the park they are visiting.



The Spruce Krew Kids Klub program has been piloted in several parks over

the past four summers. It has proven to be an extremely successful

environmental program, with over 4,300 participants to date.



The Passport Program, which is called the "Explorer Series" will be

available province-wide this summer in Saskatchewan provincial parks. The

series includes four levels of activities.



After completion of each level, club members will receive a certificate,

badge, patch or backpack tag. Once they complete all four levels, they

will receive an explorers backpack.



Activities can range from planting and watering a tree and keeping their

campsite free from litter, to organizing a special environmental project to

help the park.



Grades four and five students from Athabasca School in Regina took part in

the launch by planting native plants at Condie Nature Refuge to recognize

the natural prairie environment that would have existed when pioneers first

arrived. Today the native grassland is a threatened ecosystem.
