May 26th - Program information
Birding, bees
and bugs! Springtime is a very active time of the year for these animals! Come
and explore their habitats and watch them in action as they call, buzz, patrol,
preen, and pair off! We will use binoculars, nets and other equipment to study
whoever decides to put on a show for us!
See you there!

April 28th - recap
Wow, I was sending out the reminder for the next meeting and realised I didn't recap the previous one!
Time sure does fly!
Today we sampled some of the edible outdoors.
We started with some violets and wild rice that Karen had brought in for us. After doing an exercise with some field guides, we went out to see what we could find.
Here are some photos from our walk:
Note: They are not plants we ate :)

March meeting recap
There wasn't any sap running, so we didn't get to watch maple syrup being made. We did get to learn all about the history of making maple syrup. We also did some activities like tapping a 'tree' and got to sample some different types of syrup.

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.
