A.P.E. Fund Plants for Us and for Them (Bees~!) Erle Rivers High School, Alberta We have already started a garden space in elevated boxes in our school building – we had funds to plants for our climate in one of them. This year we could like to expand/finish our project by building more boxes and planting native species to Alberta that help a healthy bee population flourish.
