Nature Navigators Camp for 9 - 12 year-olds!

Navigate your way to Edmonton's nature hotspots! We'll explore the pyramids as we trek through the tropics and delight in the desert. Pot a cool plant to take home and explore river valley trails. Then it's off to the Devonian Botanic Garden, where we'll visit the Japanese garden, see tropical butterflies, and spot some cool cacti. Travel along the boardwalks and trails when we go to Wagner Natural Area to see a wetland, a tamarack... forest, and search for native orchids! We'll top off the week with a visit to a local farm, Prairie Gardens, where we'll get our hands dirty and maybe even bring home some fresh fruit or vegetables we harvest ourselves!

Have you ever wondered about the coffee you drink in the morning, or the bananas on your counter? how about why fruit and vegetables can be so expensive? We will discuss the environments where these food products come from and how the plants are truly running the show.

The hottest new hotel is now open for bees-ness! EALT staff joined the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Native Plant Group this morning to install this charmin...g bee hotel at the Muttart Conservatory.
