March meeting information

Please note the change in meeting location!!

Hello Young Naturalists! This month's meeting will take place at the sugar shack just off of Laurelwood Drive before you get to the Nature Centre. It is located about 200m in from the intersection of Fischer Hallman and Laurelwood Dr (near the new YMCA/library) and before you get to the roundabout to turn onto Beaver Creek Rd. Look for the maintenance yard (lots of RV storage) on the right hand side and drive in and park. The sugar shack is located at the back of all the RV's.

We will learn how maple syrup is produced, see some displays, play a game or two and do some taste testing of sweet things.... Unfortunately, because of the warm weather, the sap has stopped flowing so we won't be able to collect any or see the evaporator steam away! On the plus side, it should be warmer than in past years.... :-)

I will bring along the journals and photos so we can update them at the end of the program.

See you then!

Karen

February meeting highlights!

We got lucky again in February - it snowed the night before our meeting!! With a bit of snow on the ground, we seized the opportunity to put on the snow shoes for our walk to the forest.
We used tarps and sticks to build some temporary winter shelters.
