SUMMARY:COMOX VALLEY - Nature Lanterns for Lunar New Year
DESCRIPTION:This month’s NatureKids Explorer Day will have you and your kids building dams\,canals\, and waterways\, maybe even creating waterfalls and wetlands! What is the big deal about water? Where is the water coming from? Where does it go?Is water important? How does nature handle too much water? Do plants play a role?We’ll briefly discuss water molecules\, the water cycle\, ground water versus surfacewater\, introduce the Blue Ecology water cycle then look for evidence of meandering\,scouring and pooling. The plan is to cover a fair distance\, about a kilometre\, observing the ways of watermoving downhill before arriving at the work area. That’s where the construction and funwill be. Of course\, the return journey will be uphill\, but it’s not too steep. What to bring: A sand box shovel or garden trowel\, small digger (if you wish). We’llsource out other tools if necessary\, from the forest. What to wear: Boots\, warm layers\, rain/mud pants\, or if it’s really raining\, the full rainsuit When: Sunday afternoon\, Nov. 23\, from 1:30 to 3:30 Where: Lower Channel Ridge. Meet at Broadwell and Tern where parking is easy.Gather at the mailboxes. Register with Kathleen\, at khmaser@shaw.ca and make sure you are a member ofNatureKidsBC which again is free this year!

SUMMARY:VANCOUVER - Tour of Trottier Observatory
DESCRIPTION:This month’s NatureKids Explorer Day will have you and your kids building dams\,canals\, and waterways\, maybe even creating waterfalls and wetlands! What is the big deal about water? Where is the water coming from? Where does it go?Is water important? How does nature handle too much water? Do plants play a role?We’ll briefly discuss water molecules\, the water cycle\, ground water versus surfacewater\, introduce the Blue Ecology water cycle then look for evidence of meandering\,scouring and pooling. The plan is to cover a fair distance\, about a kilometre\, observing the ways of watermoving downhill before arriving at the work area. That’s where the construction and funwill be. Of course\, the return journey will be uphill\, but it’s not too steep. What to bring: A sand box shovel or garden trowel\, small digger (if you wish). We’llsource out other tools if necessary\, from the forest. What to wear: Boots\, warm layers\, rain/mud pants\, or if it’s really raining\, the full rainsuit When: Sunday afternoon\, Nov. 23\, from 1:30 to 3:30 Where: Lower Channel Ridge.

SUMMARY:COWICHAN VALLEY - Junior Birders
DESCRIPTION:This month’s NatureKids Explorer Day will have you and your kids building dams\,canals\, and waterways\, maybe even creating waterfalls and wetlands! What is the big deal about water? Where is the water coming from? Where does it go?Is water important? How does nature handle too much water? Do plants play a role?We’ll briefly discuss water molecules\, the water cycle\, ground water versus surfacewater\, introduce the Blue Ecology water cycle then look for evidence of meandering\,scouring and pooling. The plan is to cover a fair distance\, about a kilometre\, observing the ways of watermoving downhill before arriving at the work area. That’s where the construction and funwill be. Of course\, the return journey will be uphill\, but it’s not too steep. What to bring: A sand box shovel or garden trowel\, small digger (if you wish). We’llsource out other tools if necessary\, from the forest. What to wear: Boots\, warm layers\, rain/mud pants\, or if it’s really raining\, the full rainsuit When: Sunday afternoon\, Nov. 23\, from 1:30 to 3:30 Where: Lower Channel Ridge. Meet at Broadwell and Tern where parking is easy.Gather at the mailboxes. Register with Kathleen\, at khmaser@shaw.ca and make sure you are a member ofNatureKidsBC which again is free this year!
