Earth Day Fish Count
We are going to do the Millard-Piercy Watershed Conservation Trail Walk, which includes a guided interpretive trail and a chance to find and learn about various natural values along the trail. We will also learn a bit about what it means to live in a watershed and will get introduced to the work of the Millard-Piercy Stewards. If the weather cooperates this week, we may even get to help the Stewards with their daily fish count!
We are lucky to have Steve Williams join us as our Guest Leader on Sunday. Steve regularly attends NatureKids with his granddaughter, Ruby, and is a member of the Millard-Piercy Stewards.
Where to meet
The Conservation Trail Walk is south of the Airpark walk. Head south on Cliffe Avenue and turn left onto 31st st. just before you get to the last set of lights on your way out of town. There is parking there and we will meet near the big fish.
What to bring
Consider packing a snack and drink. If the weather cooperates, we’ll take a break at the end of the interpretive walk and enjoy the view at the estuary near Millard Road before heading back.
Kids are welcome/encouraged to bring journals or binoculars or other “tools” to help them explore nature with a light touch.
