BIPOC highschool kids try out shark tagging 🦈 We are so grateful for our inspirational team of scientists who shared their skills with youth - Dr. Chuck Bangley, PhD Candidate Zoya Tyabji, and Dr. Chris Mull!

We’re also SO impressed at these rockstars for coming on a science expedition at 7:00AM during their summer break - 🌊 🚨 future scientists alert 🚨 ⚡️

Great news from Ocean Tracking Network and Big Spruce!

Every time you get a 'Tag, You're It', you are supporting local diverse youth in exploring and learning about nature!

We love to see young naturalists in the making!

Some fun finds from today’s owl pellet dissection workshop with .ca 🍁

Endangered Moose Linocut!
What is Linocut? It is a carving made on a linoleum (rubbery) block! Once you carve your design, you can stamp it again and again and make multiple beautiful prints.

* Learn about the Endangered Mainland Moose
* Make your own Moose linocut and prints
* Create cards for your loved ones
* Send one of your prints with a letter to our Premier and Minister for the Environment to encourage them to protect this wonderful species

All materials are provided and you will be able to take your block and all of your cards home!
