Have you ever wondered what could be living in a little patch of grass, or a small garden? JoinÌýÌýÌýfor an exciting hour exploring the green spaces on Â鶹AV campus! We don’t tend to think of cities as places where lots of plants and animals live, but even small habitats can be super important for many species. Some are tiny and don’t need a lot of space, some need spots to rest while passing through, and some don’t mind the city at all! We’ll use a mix of scientific, indigenous, and your own personal knowledge to see what nature could be hiding right around the corner.
Come meet us in the children's garden in front of the Macdonald-Stewart Building at 10:30am and be prepared for some time outside. This activity is aimed at grades 3-5, but all are welcome! Worksheets are bilingual, explanations will be in English.Ìý
