Details of Your Organization’s Grant Request
1) Nature and goals of the project, program or event: The nature of this project is to give students the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of beekeeping (honeybees). From nurturing brood (baby bees) to making fresh honey-based salad dressing for our school salad bar. The goals are to teach students about sustainability through the connection between humans, honeybees and our environment. In addition to learning about responsibility and stewardship through this experiential learning project, we also hope to foster environmental concern, respect for nature, and a better understanding about where our food comes from.
2) Summary of direct and indirect benefits to the Town of View Royal: One of the many benefits to View Royal when teaching students good stewardship and environmental respect is that it transfers into a desire to keep their own community of View Royal healthy and clean. More honeybees means more pollination which in turn will benefit local residents and their gardens. In addition, through this beekeeping pilot project students will get a chance to form connections with local beekeepers.
