We have been going on nature walks to Ron McLean Park.  We have named and observed flowers, plants and trees on our way.  One Friday, we made it to the stairs of the forest that lead to the creek. 

This Friday, we made it to the bottom of the stairs and to Byrne Creek.  We loved seeing the Lady Ferns and Sword Ferns.  We saw invasive species and plants natural to our habitat.  We made sure we acknowledged and thanked the Coast Salish Nations of  Musqueam, Tsleil-Watuth and Squamish on whose traditional territories we teach, learn and live.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also created some nature characters and had them settle into our Indigenous Plant Garden.  During the daily announcements, we  have highlighted the Oregon Grape, Bleeding Heart and Wood’s Rose plants in our garden.
