SUMMARY:COMOX VALLEY - Ornithology for Kids
DESCRIPTION:On the lower reaches of Erskine Mountain\, the forest is unique\,amazingly different than other parts of Salt Spring. Near thebeginning of the trail there are deciduous trees and many youngconifers starting out on their journey in life. We will learn several species\, and focus especially on the Hemlock\, which is surprisingly prolific in this location.These trees are fascinating ‘to read’ and it is great fun to learn todetermine their age. They hold secrets and tales of their life’sjourney from a seedling. Learning to read the signs\, we will makeconnections to the kids’ lives. We’ll do some storytelling andwriting too\, both real and imaginative as there may be fairies about!Our trail begins off Trustees Trail and we will not travel too far\,perhaps only a kilometre or so. Afterwards you may wish to takeyour family up to the lookouts or go on a search for fairy doors!Dress for the weather.Where: Erskine Provincial ParkWhen: Sunday\, October 27Time: 10 – 11:30 amRegister with Kathleen\, khmaser@shaw.ca
