Carbon Sequestration
• Total carbon sequestered to date: over 80 kg
• Oakville Trafalgar H.S. and Appleby College sequestered 20.075kg and 19.62kg, respectively
• This is significantly more than other schools (0-8kg)
• Environmental stewardship of site and initiative/effort are important to increasing carbon storage

Conclusions • More long-term monitoring plots should be
established so that trends may be studied and to see if results are replicated
• Environmental stewardship may significantly increase growth of trees which significantly increases carbon storage
• We can study climate change impacts on trees and provide valuable environmental education at the same time
• Young citizen scientists’ data is important and P4C helps to spread environmental awareness

Measuring Our Resources

• Students measure and monitor the trees already located on their schoolyard grounds
• Trees are tagged and numbered
• Measurements taken include height, DBH, and crown width. Tree health is also assessed and tree species are identified
• Students create a sketch map of the trees that were measured
• Data is inputted into database
