Nature Play Day! June 15th



The YNC is partnering with Canadian Child and Nature Alliance again this year to launch the second annual 'Nature Play Day'event on June 15, 2012. This is a fun and simple campaign to get our children, families, schools, organizations, businesses, etc., outside in nature one day a year. Of course we also hope this will raise your awareness of the importance of time spent outdoors all year round!
 
So, all you have to do is this:
  1. Go to: www.natureplayday.ca
  2. Pin your activity, program, initiative on the map
  3. Invite your friends on facebook
  4. Document [through photos, video, blog] how easy and fun it was!
  5. Send your stories to info@ync.ca!

Birding App Alert

If you are looking for a good birding app this is the time to check out ibirdPRO at www.ibird.com. This app usually sells for $29.99 but is currently being offered for $2.99. We don't normally mention commercial products at the YNC but I have this app, like it AND paid the full price over a year ago so wanted to pass on this sale to YNC Members!

Happy birding,
Kristine Webber
