SUMMARY:EASTERN FRASER VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:Bear Aware \nIt’s that time of year again when all of our furry friends are getting ready to hunker down for a long winters nap and we thought “what better time to learn?”. Thankfully we have our good friend and Nature Mentor Lydia Koot to tell us about what to expect from our bear friends right now and how to keep ourselves “Bear Aware” so that everyone stays safe. \nPlease join us at 2pm at the Mt.Thom trail head in Ryder Lake where we will go for a short hike and learn about bear activity and other interesting and useful ways to protect ourselves and bears. At the end of the hike we will have some snacks but please remember to bring your own water bottles and dress appropriately for the weather.

We are asking that everyone come prepared with something; a decorated scooter/bike or wagon; maybe an umbrella decorated with lights? Marla and I will be making two signs for us to use and will need a couple volunteers to help us carry them!! Be creative and have fun. \nWhere: Evergreen Hall\nWhen:  December 1st\nTime:  4:30/5: pizza dinner\n5:30: meet at walkers tent to wait for our turn\n6: parade starts \nLocation\, parade details and parking:  There is no parking at Evergreen Hall. There is option to drop off and Marla and I can be available to help with kids if you need. The route takes us back to Evergreen Hall. The route is about a hour long. We’d like to engage with the kids at the parade and are looking for some suggestions on what to hand out…. originally we thought candy canes\, but thought maybe we could brainstorm something different…. thoughts? \nAlso\, please be prepared for rain. It seems to rain every year. I love the idea of showing off how our group will run rain or shine though!

SUMMARY:EASTERN FRASER VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:The buds are swelling\, and the birds are busying themselves with calling for mates and searching for nest sites – spring is almost here. Among the trees and bushes animals hide\, sleep\, build nests\, drink nectar\, eat luscious berries\, and pluck plump insects from under leaves. \nHabitat loss means that this idyllic setting is becoming scarcer\, and we think our NatureKids are exactly the conservation heroes needed to create just such a place\, a hide-and-seek for birds and other critters. \nPlease join us for a stewardship planting in one another’s good company and learn from our remarkable and amusing nature mentor\, Gord Gadsden\, on March 17 from 1-3 p.m. at the Cheam Lake Wetlands. This event is rain or shine as the time is right to allow the roots to establish themselves\, while the rain is plentiful.
