My child went to Desconso Garden for the special exhibition and understand the importance of wild life living in the canyon, and why we need to conserve.

Social Studies

• The child learned about the importance of wildlife living in the canyon.
• The child understands the need for conservation to protect the wildlife.
• The child gained knowledge about the role of Desconso Garden in promoting conservation.
• The child learned about the impact of human activities on the natural environment.

Continued development related to this activity can include engaging the child in discussions about other conservation efforts happening locally or globally. Encourage them to explore more about different types of habitats and the animals that live in them. They can also create their own mini conservation projects, like building birdhouses or planting a small garden to attract wildlife.
