Please note: Program is dependent on the fluctuating water levels of our local watershed. Alternative programming available during drier seasons (see Watershed Steward: Wandering Watersheds).
Wetlands are vibrant ecosystems, among the most rich and diverse of all natural habitats. Using nets and magnifiers, students catch water bugs and discover some of the amazing adaptations of aquatic invertebrates. Explore the magical world of frogs, dragonflies, whirligig beetles and many more! Wetlands provide unparalleled opportunities for students to indulge their natural curiosity, all under the guidance of the experienced Environment Centre Staff.
