The Burns Bog Conservation Society has partnered with the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation Delta chapter to give 63 copies of For Peat's Sake: A Classroom Study of Burns Bog and Other Peatlands to the Delta school district.
Every school will receive two copies of the book, a teacher resource guide to peatlands education at the K-7 grade level. Burns Bog Conservation Society president Eliza Olson presented the books to the Delta school board last week.
The society worked closely with authors Karla Olson and Corinne Issel to create a curriculum-focused resource guide. Drawing upon the society's 24 years of experience protecting and sustaining Burns Bog, the resource guide is rich with information on the importance of peatlands ecosystems to the global environment.
