MERRITT- Wetlands

Please join us on Saturday May 2nd from 10-noon at the Laurie Guichon Memorial Site (Lundbom Commonage).
 
We have a wonderful guest mentor, Natalie Ross, who will be leading us on an Explorer Day all about wetlands! Natalie harbors a deep passion for the environment, balancing indigenous knowledge and western science. Natalie holds a B.Sc in Environmental Studies from TWU, and currently is undertaking her Master of Science in Environmental Science at TRU.
 
We will be exploring the wetland so please be prepared to play in the muck.

Explorer Day Etiquette:

Be prepared to HAVE FUN

Pre-registration with your Club Leader is required for most Explorer Days (Friends are welcome if space permits).

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for passport stamping and organization. Starting times are firm, and Leaders cannot wait for late-comers!

Please stay with the Leader and let them know if you are leaving early.

Children must always be accompanied by an adult guardian, who is responsible for their behaviour. Children consistently disrupting the experience of others may be asked to leave.

Bring appropriate weather gear, sunscreen, snacks, water, and other useful tools like binoculars, sketch books, cameras, and magnifying glasses.
