Handout - I am the Land
Imagine that
the land of the communities of Chilliwack, Wells, and Yale could
speak to the people who live there. Perhaps it would say something
like this: "I am the land. I choose how you live, but you can
change me, too. Sometimes this change is slow, and sometimes it
is fast -at times very fast. Think about me. You need me, and now
that you are here we must live in harmony, or I will become ill
and old and no longer support you. Please answer these questions
about me. If you know me better, we can be friends."
1. What are my main geographic features?
2. What animals
and plants live in these environments?
3. How can human
beings use the environments I provide?
4. How have
humans changed me in the last hundred years?
5. Why have
humans changed me?
