NATURE DISCOVERY BACKPACKS
The Nature Discovery Learning Backpacks– In conjunction with Watersheds Canada, these backpacks are intended for lending at the Madawaska Valley Public Library. They align nicely with our current mission to support and promote environmental stewardship. This project offers an exciting opportunity for a hands-on approach to learning for folks of all ages in our community. It is a great way to investigate the great outdoors and gain a deeper appreciation of its importance. Our first discovery backpack was themed for water quality testing.
LEARN TO FISH
An enjoyable day was had by all who attended the free “Learn to Fish” event held on Sunday, Aug.6 2023, near the Barry’s Bay public dock on Lake Kamaniskeg. Luke and Scott, instructors from Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife, engaged their enthusiastic audience of new and seasoned anglers, young and old, with the basics of fishing. The two covered topics such as regulations, parts of the fish, how to respect the fish when it’s caught, casting and baiting.
