From Bison Hooves to Hiking Boots

This network activity, From Bison Hooves to Hiking Boots, is being hosted by LEARN in collaboration with Parks Canada. The intended audience for this session is Cycle 3 (Grades 5 & 6) Elementary students.

You’ve heard about this place for years, and now the big adventure begins! First, you ride the bus, then a boat, your excitement growing with every bump and wave. Finally, after hiking 14 kilometres through forests and fields, you spot it—the tall, strong fences of Sweetgrass Station, standing proudly in the middle of the wild, open land. These aren’t just any fences—they’ve been here for a long time, helping people care for and protect the mighty bison. Today, they welcome you to your camp and whisper stories of hard work, courage, and the amazing animals that call this place home. You can almost feel the history in the air as you step inside, ready for your own adventure!
