SUMMARY:NELSON - Kootenay Gallery Broom Bash
DESCRIPTION:Are you a Kootenay Broom Buster? \nScotch broom is an escaped garden plant introduced from Europe that easily invades sunny\, disturbed sites such as rangelands\, roadsides\, and areas of recent logging. Scotch broom can increase the intensity of wildfires\, obstruct sightlines along roads\, and crowd out native plants that animals depend on. Now that’s a nasty invasive!\n \nNext month the Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society (CKISS) and the West Kootenay Naturalists are working together to remove scotch broom from a site in Castlegar and they’ve invited our club families to join them! Let’s work together to remove this invasive species and help our native plants to thrive. There is also a native plant garden to explore.\nCKISS will bring supplies\, but bring your own gloves if you have them\, especially for the kids as they may not have many small sizes.\n \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT\n \nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today! \n

SUMMARY:VANCOUVER - A Bat-tastic Morning at Copley Community Orchard!
DESCRIPTION:Hello Vancouver Families: On Saturday July 13\, we’ll visit the Copley Community Orchard in east Vancouver. Our nature mentor\, Tanya\, will start the morning with a tour of the property\, including many garden beds\, fruit-bearing bushes\, and fruit trees. Following the tour\, local bat expert Danielle Dagenais from Bats BC will tell us all about these little nocturnal creatures who play an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. For example\, did you know that bats can eat about 6\,000 to 8\,000 insects every night? Some local BC bat species are considered at risk\, and we’ll learn what we can do to help them. Danielle will bring some taxidermy bats in a glass case so we can see what they look like up close. After the bat workshop\, we’ll visit with a few live animals: a mini chicken\, a regular-size chicken\, and a rabbit. Lastly\, we’ll have the opportunity to join other volunteers in watering and weeding the garden beds – a favourite NatureKidsks activity during past visits to the orchard.  \nFeel free to bring food if you’d like to stay for a picnic in the orchard.
