SATURDAY, MARCH 9TH

Tree Tales

From seed to stump, trees go through a long and rooted journey to grow tall! This month, we are headed to Tynehead Regional Park, located in Surrey, to identify different trees found around the Fraser River, learn how to age a tree, and act out the lifecycle of a tree through an interactive story! 

This event will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather.   

Registration cost includes admission to the Fraser River Discovery Centre. Pay when you register for this workshop, and the next time you visit the Centre in-person, you will be admitted for free.
