Backpacking for Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem. It includes all the different species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, as well as the genetic differences within these species and the ecosystems they form.
The “Backpacking for Biodiversity” initiative is part of the One School One Farm project, which aims to connect students with local farms and natural areas to promote environmental stewardship. By participating in this hike, we are raising awareness and funds to support biodiversity conservation efforts in our community.
