Div. 6 has been looking closely at specimens from the Beaty Biodiversity Museum Forest Box! We recognized so many of these amazing species, and learned about many new ones! Who knew there were so many different kinds of mosses? We were amazed at the connections we could find between them all. After observing, wondering, learning, and playing, we took our curiosity outside. We wanted to see what plants, animals, and fungi we could find out in the forest of Burnaby Mountain beyond our familiar trails.

With our field guides and and our new field nature journals, we tried to see who we could find living here! It was a long and exhausting hike, but it was worth it to find these new treasures! We wondered, why do these forest spaces look different than the ones near our school?
