Raincoast Field School @ home
“To provide online nature-based learning opportunities for local students.”
Raincoast Field School @ home is an interactive online program delivered by Raincoast Field School instructors, educators and scientists. The program is being created to provide our local students (and beyond!) nature-based programming during COVID-19 related school closures.
Weekly ecology lessons are offered at 11 am PDT on Tuesday and Thursday, and can be joined from a computer, smartphone or tablet. Lessons will be best suited for families with children in Grades K-7. Links to supplementary materials and recorded videos will be posted on the lesson pages below.

In the next months Kira, our Ucluelet Field School Coordinator, and Ms. Lefevre’s grade 4 class, will be out exploring ecosystems, biomes and the unique animals that live in our local ones. This video shows their attention turned to the intertidal zone with a beautiful day on Big Beach in Ucluelet! 🪱 @raincoastfieldschool

Temperate Rainforest Experts with Maddy
Ms. Baas’s Grade 1 class always has a fun time on Field Schools and today was no exception! The class begun our day with a rainforest scavenger hunt, looking for signs of temperate rainforests and learning about the importance of moisture and sunlight for a temperate rainforest! We learned about certain quintessential temperate rainforest plants such as salal and electrical cattail moss! While noticing how much the weather changes in Tofino, the class also had so much fun making our own rainstorm with our hands and feet. We finished our morning by receiving our very own Temperate Rainforest booklets and drawing one of the popular rainforest species in each of our own booklets to save for and reference later! The class hopes to have just as much fun on our next field school to the landfill!
