About

“Bring Back the Brookies” is a hybrid environmental learning program created by the Niagara Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada to support education for the Niagara community, educators and students. By learning about Brook Trout and their Niagara habitat, Twelve Mile Creek, we can better appreciate Niagara’s fragile natural environment and what needs to be done to protect and preserve it for future generations.

Supplementing outdoor experiences and volunteer opportunities, this online resource, organized in 5 modules, provides a series of videos and materials to support case studies in the Geography or Science and Technology subjects of Ontario’s Grade 7-9 Curriculum.

In addition, for those interested in getting outdoors to explore or monitor the watershed, please visit the OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES page.

Let’s learn in nature.
