PROGRAMS
We are currently offering the following programs for school/small groups:
Nailed It: Nailed It! will teach participants about a variety of trees, the differences between soft and hard woods, and how to use both heritage and modern tools while woodworking. They will use what they learned throughout the program to design and build a wooden creation to take home.
This program can be tailored for participants in Kindergarten to Gr. 8.
Habitat Heroes: Participants will learn about local species and habitats while developing awareness of how their actions can help or harm local ecosystems. Content will include guided tours of the MacLachlan property, a stewardship-focused game and the opportunity to create bug hotels to take home.
