Who knows what you’ll discover when the water recedes? Exploring the evolution of our local watersheds, students will look for insects and traces of animal life with nets and magnifiers as well as listen for the many wetland birds that inhabit the area. They will participate in a variety of water related activities and games reflecting the importance of these ever changing ecosystems. Watersheds provide unparalleled opportunities for students to indulge their natural curiosity, all under the guidance of the experienced Environment Centre Staff.
