Farmland & Wildlife Poster Contest

Delta School Teachers: Have your students create a poster of WILDLIFE & FARMLAND. Your classroom could win a Mini-Hatch! Observe chicks hatching in your CLASSROOM! 

Migratory birds and other wildlife use farms here in Delta throughout the year. Swans, snow geese, ducks, sand pipers, herons, hawks, owls, and songbirds all make farmland their home. Involve your students by making posters that represents wildlife using local farms in Delta! Two winning posters will be selected, and the winners will receive a Mini-Hatch for their classrooms!
 
Online Resource for Teachers:
Use the "Wildlife and Farms" Teachers Resource to learn more about the wildlife that uses farmland on the Fraser River delta.  
 
The Mini-Hatch allows students to observe incubating chicken eggs, right up to the day the eggs hatch and the chicks pop out! Mini-Hatch is delivered to the classroom with 6 live chicken eggs. After 21 days of incubation, the chicks will hatch, right in the classroom! The day after hatching, the Mini-Hatch Team will come and pick up the chicks and the equipment!
