Motus Migratory Tracking System

This Andersen Elementary Motus Project in Richmond is a community initiative led by myself as Richmond Art Gallery’s artist-in-residence. I worked with Birds Canada and Andersen’s outdoor teacher, Anne-Marie Fenn, to develop art/science curriculum around the Motus Migratory Tracking System.  The project brought together art, science, and storytelling in the classroom, and includes a children's book, written by Amy, the Delta Animal Resistance.  Indigenous Educator, Lori Snyder worked with the students to consider birds and bird habitat.
