To take part in any Explorer Day, all participants must sign a waiver form available on the day.

 

Friends are welcome if space permits.  Any young naturalist 14 years of age and under must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Please arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for waiver signing and passport stamping.  Remember to bring your passport—fill it out in advance at home to make it easier for the Leaders to stamp it. 

Every time you complete a passport (attend 6 events), send the tickets to YNC in Vancouver and you will receive a certificate, a prize, and a new passport.  The prize for completing your second passport is a YNC cap.

All activities will take place rain or shine unless otherwise noted.  Please consider the weather and the activity, and wear appropriate clothing and shoes, including sunhats and sunscreen. Bring snacks and water.

Other items that might be useful are: magnifying glass, binoculars, sketch book and pencil, camera and field guides.

Starting times are firm out of courtesy to the Leader of the day. We regret that we cannot wait for those who are late.

Please stay with the Leader and let him/her know if you are leaving early.

UPCOMING EVENTS:


 

EVENT: Invasive Plants
DATE:  Tuesday, July 6th
TIME:  10:00 - 1:00 pm

LOCATION:  We will meet at the entrance to the Forestry Road for Kokanee Glacier Park  (off HWY 3A, about 400 m beyond the entrance to Kokanee Creek Prov Park if you are coming from Nelson.)


 

THINGS TO BRING: Good shoes (no sandals); long pants; garden gloves if you have them. We will supply garden gloves for those children who don't have any. Parents, if you have a pair of loppers or a shovel that you would like to use, please bring them along.  Pack a lunch (we will take a break) and water.

RSVP: Please let me know via e-mail reply, by Friday July 2 if you will be able to make it to this event, and how many in your family will attend.  As it is on a weekday, it might not work for everyone, but if
you have the
day off with your children, come to the event and then plan to spend some time at the beach!
