Grant Summary: Ateliers Fauniques - Sur les traces de la faune
The Ateliers Fauniques - Sur les traces de la faune grant program, initiated by the Ministry of Environment, Fauna, and Parks in Quebec, aims to educate young people about Quebec's wildlife and habitats. It offers educational workshops led by the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (Sépaq) to secondary schools, vocational training centers, and adult education centers, providing an engaging and informative outdoor experience.
Grant Details: Ateliers Fauniques - Sur les traces de la faune
The Ateliers Fauniques - Sur les traces de la faune grant program is a unique opportunity for schools in Quebec to immerse their students in the wildlife and habitats of the region through interactive workshops facilitated by Sépaq park rangers. These workshops aim to foster an understanding of biodiversity conservation by engaging students in activities such as exploring habitats, identifying animal traces, and learning about wildlife behavior.
Managed by the Fonds d’action québécois pour le développement durable (FAQDD), the program is open to highschools, vocational training centers, and adult education centers. Participating groups receive free access to a national park for a day, providing an ideal setting for learning, discovery, and outdoor activities.
The workshops take place in seven participating national parks across Quebec, including the Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, and Parc national du Mont-Orford. Students have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of local fauna and habitats while enjoying a day immersed in nature.
To apply, eligible educational institutions must submit a request for one of the workshops offered by Sépaq. Each workshop is led by a park ranger and can be customized to suit different group sizes and time constraints. The program aims to educate young people on the importance of wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship, making it a valuable experience for all participants.
By participating in the Ateliers Fauniques - Sur les traces de la faune grant program, schools in Quebec can provide their students with a hands-on learning opportunity that combines education, nature exploration, and outdoor adventure, contributing to a deeper appreciation of the local fauna and ecosystems.
