The Alderville Black Oak Savanna partners with various post-secondary institutions to support student projects and research. We often welcome co-op and field placement students, work with post-grad researchers and act as mentors for the Fleming College Ecosystem Management Credit For Product course.

Credit For Product (Fleming College)

For over 10 years the Alderville BOS team has acted as mentors for the Credit for Product class. This class pairs student groups with industry partners to produce a deliverable for the mentor organization. Check out some of our past projects below.
