A couple of important notes:
- Our next meeting is coming up on January 30 at 10am. Hope to see everyone there, especially since Gabe Camozzi from Ontario Nature is going to be joining us. He'll be telling us about the planned Youth Summit on Biodiversity, the Youth Writing and Art Contest (check out the link! it's very cool for Grade 7 and 8 students) and other opportunities for young naturalists to get involved. Because Gabe will also be talking about opportunities for kids who are 12 and older, please invite and bring along any nature-loving teens you know who would be interested. We'll all be going outside for some wintery fun, so dress warmly!
- Again, courtesy of Ontario Nature, there's a big activity day planned for Saturday, February 20, hopefully located at the Valens Conservation Area. Guelph Junior Naturalists and Hamilton Junior Naturalists will also be there, and some of the proposed activities include: snowshoeing, animal tracking, shelter building, and maybe even ice fishing. This is a fabulous opportunity to visit a new natural area, meet some great young naturalists, and to get to do some activities we might not be able to do at Laurel Creek. Please RSVP via comments or email to Kiirstin. If you have any questions, let me know or ask Gabe at the meeting on the 30th!
