Outdoor Classroom Ideas - Landscape/Pollinators

Learning about pollinators in an outdoor classroom can be a fun and engaging way for children to connect with nature and understand the importance of preserving our natural world. They can learn how to identify bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, plus the physical features and behaviors of these pollinators that help them pollinate plants.

By observing how pollinators visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen, children can learn how the process helps pollinate the flowers and produce fruits and seeds. Outdoor educators can use pollinators and their habitats to teach children about conservation. They can learn about threats like habitat loss and pesticide use and ways to protect them. The education opportunities around pollinators are endless, and the impression these experiences have on the children are priceless.
