A.P.E. Fund The students will plant and build a natural shelter made with bendable live branches of willow trees. This will be place close to the first nation garden build last year. Dorval, Quebec The students will plant small willow trees. The tall branches will be bent and shaped into a shelter looking like a longhouse. The idea is to build a longhouse next to the first nation garden that the students build last year and the pine tree (the peace tree of the Iroquoiens) that was planted.

The seed starting case would protect against frost and cold night temps, extend our very short growing season and allow for a more successful rate of germination and seedling survival. View project Climate Change (Environment), Environmental Inequity (People) Hampstead School Community Garden We are proposing installing garden boxes to have a community vegetable garden for students and their families to maintain and benefit from.
