March Break ECO Camp was a hit! Kids hiked to see Elinor the Eagle, met Top Hat, did skull ID and met snakes. Thanks to Let’s Talk Science UWaterloo, Janet Ozaruk, Molly Chen, Make it Sow Inc and Preston Knights of Columbus for the workshops, greenhouses and funding that made it all possible.
Winter is finally losing its grip on the landscape. Like us humans, the coyotes are navigating the last of the deep snow as the ground begins to thaw and the fresh spring growth shows through.
What are you looking forward to doing with the warmer weather, hopefully coming soon?
