🔅Environmental Fun Day 2021🔅
Last Friday, WRIG and HCWG were joined by grades five and six students from Gulf Shore, Central Queens, and École Saint-Augustin at Rackham’s Pond. The students spent the day learning about environmental science and conservation from seven different interactive exhibits!
Check out this year’s stations and their presenters:
Electrofishing ⚡️ PEI Fish and Wildlife
Tree Planting and Identification 🍃 PEI Provincial Tree Nursery
Bats, Scat, & Tracks 🦇 PEI Watershed Alliance
Birds of Prey 🦅 Island Falconry Services

A huge thank you to the students for their fantastic compliance with our COVID-19 regulations, to the teachers, bus drivers, and chaperones for making the event run so smoothly, and to the presenters for volunteering their time!
Happy to see the tree swallow boxes full of activity!
