SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th
Campbell Valley Regional Park
Insect Inspection
Insects have adapted to live in their habitats and are essential in shaping the appearance and complexity of the river basin’s incredible biodiversity! Observe and identify insects based on their different characteristics; invent an insect using natural materials; and build a bug hotel to shelter amazing insects! This month we are headed to Campbell Valley Regional Park, located in Langley, to learn about insects!
This event will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather.
