Description

With the installation of the Worm World, (a vermi-composting program)A strong emphasis is placed on the 4R’s of ecology and preservation. (Reduction reusing recycling and rotting) Lessons taught on the role of worms and insects in our ecology and on the ideas of naturally occuring fertilizer and organic composting, and the lifecycle of the earth worm.
When combined with our butterfly and ladybug activities these positive bug oriented experiences make up the bulk of our insect immersion program used through out the year. Revolving around these three specific activities, the raising of butterflies form caterpillars monthly throughout the summer, and a giant lady bug release over a two day period in April of every year and the Vermi-composting project Worm World the program creates positive immersive experiences that can be between parents and children to reinforce the idea that insects are beneficial and beautiful, and not to be feared or avoided.
