SUMMARY:BURNABY - Discover the Hidden Traits of Wintering Plants
DESCRIPTION:Join the Burnaby NatureKids Club and explore the hidden world of wintering plants! \n\n\nWhen seasons change and plants lose their leaves\, it may seem like a dull and sleepy time of year— but there is much to observe and get excited about the outdoors! In fact\, there are some plant traits that you can only clearly observe in winter. Wintertime is a great time to build your plant identification skills and hone your observational abilities. \nIn this session\, we will begin with an indoor lecture where you will learn the basics of winter plant identification\, including key traits and terms. The second part of the class will be an outdoor walk around the garden\, where we will stop and observe the interesting features of various native shrubs and trees. \nJulia Alards-Tomalin is an instructor at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in Burnaby\, Canada. She studied Forestry and Ecological Restoration at BCIT and completed a Master of Education at Simon Fraser University. Her background is diverse\, including horticulture\, arboriculture\, invasive species management and ecological restoration\, but is united by a common theme of plants. \nStarting in 2019\, Julia began to work with her students to create an Open Education textbook focusing on the winter identification of plants entitled Buds\, Branches and Bark: A Guide to Winter ID in the Pacific Northwest. Buds\, Branches and Bark is free to download\, and the 2nd edition is currently available on the BCIT website. In 2022\, Julia was awarded the Teaching Excellence in Open Education Employee Excellence Award at BCIT for her involvement in this Open Education Resource. In 2023\, the 2nd edition of Buds\, Branches and Bark was awarded the Open Education Global Award for Excellence in the Open Pedagogy category and the BC Campus Award for Excellence in Open Education. \n\n\nClick here to register! \n\nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today! \n

SUMMARY:COWICHAN VALLEY - Junior Fossil Hunters
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cowichan Valley NatureKids Club and the Victoria Paleontology Society for an introduction to ancient life on Vancouver Island and fossil collecting in BC. \n\n\nWe will start with a ‘show and tell’ of fossils from this site (hands-on) and discuss what the fossils tell us about the ancient environment at this location. We will cover collecting laws in BC\, then go on a walk of the area to see what we find. No equipment is required; the best searching is done with our eyes\, and a fair amount of fossils collected on the mountain have been found on the surface. If something interesting is found\, we can discuss guidelines for leaving it verses extracting it. If extraction is appropriate\, we can provide equipment and instruct the collector on how to approach getting it out. After\, we will come together to share and identify anything found and demonstrate proper record keeping.\n\n\n\nRegistration is now closed for this event as spots are full.\nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today! \n
