SUMMARY:NICOMEKL - Fools in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate April Fool’s Day by exploring how species in nature fool other species. Some species adopt bright colours or patterns to look like another species that is poisonous or dangerous. Other species try to become invisible to a predator\, using camouflaging colours or patterns. What will we find in the forest\, marsh or river? \nWear something that might help you to blend in\, or that might frighten off a predator! \nTo register please email nicomekl@naturekidsbc.ca

SUMMARY:VANCOUVER - Sky Gazing Anyone?
DESCRIPTION:Sky gazing anyone?? Astronomer Justin Lee has invited us to join him at Kitsilano Beach in the last week of April\, from 7:30 to 10:00\, to view the moon\, Venus\, and Mars through this telescope. Even though it will still be light at 7:30\, the moon will be bright enough for us to see. This might be a great time for younger sky gazers. For those who want to see Venus and Mars\, 8:30 will be a better start time. \nWe won’t know the exact date of this “Explorer Evening” (Tues. 25th\, Wed. 26th\, or Thurs. 27th) until we check the weather forecast the week before. This is an all-ages event\, and you can drop by anytime. \nJustin is an amateur astronomer\, an interest he has had since the age of 11. Throughout university\, he was a member of the UBC Astronomy Club. Now Justin loves to host public observation events and to share the night sky with as many people as possible. You can check out Justin’s blog here\, and see his Instagram here. \nFor astronomy lovers in your family\, see Night Sky Bright Planets\, which gives planets rise and set times for Vancouver as well as other locations. \nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today it’s FREE! \nRegister your interest here. \n
