Foragers
explore
the wild

MARCH JS a special time of year
— buds burst, cones flower, for-
esters finish winter harvesting and
children celebrate their school spr-
ing break.

Parents who are looking for
something different for their
children to do during the holiday
can sign them up for Forest
Foragers, a forest program pres-
ented by the Greater Vancouver
Regional District (GYRD) at the
Seymour Demonstration Forest.

The program will be held on
Wednesday, March 30 from 9:30
a.m. to noon.

Youngsters will explore the
forest looking for such signs of
spring as young seedlings, new
shoots and fresh deer browse.
They will discover the secrets of
the watershed; where drinking
water comes from, how to identify
trees, why some seedlings wear
plastic protectors and how to get
rid of knot holes.

Children must be eight or nine
years old. Enrolment is limited to
{0 children. The Forest Foragers
program will run rain or shine.
Children should wear waterproof
footwear and warm clothing that
can get dirty, and should bring a
light snack in a daypack so their
hands are free.

For registration and information
call the GVRD at 432-6350, week-
days during regular office hours. A
small fee is required to cover costs.
