One of the major areas of interest in biology is the integration of class with the the community and environment.
As a result the biology department has instigated various projects and independent studies with the community and environment.
Some of these independent studies and projects include:
...which is an indepth collaboration of the community with highschool students to rehabilitate and remediate the pollution and degradation of the drag river running through Haliburtion Highlands.
...is a study on the walleye population in the Kashag chain as it relates to the population, temperature and spawning in head lake.
...is a learning for grade 4 and 5 students. It provides a general basic look at the environment for young kids through activities and games that take place on the ELM trail behind HHSS.
...this is the program which ELM was bases upon. It is program developed in the states that YMCA Wanakita has instigated as a week long learning session about the environment and our place in it. ECDCICA are the concept that are to be learned on the three trails at Wanakita.
...is collaboration of the community with highschool students to participate in the restocking of lakes in the Haliburton County area.
