The Adopt A Stream Foundation invites kids between 5 and 11 years old and their guardians to join Fiona Cohen at the Northwest Stream Center for a Curious Kids Nature Talk. This event is designed to get youngsters ready to explore and enjoy the amazing outdoors of the Pacific Northwest.
Fiona is also the author of the regional best selling book Curious Kids Nature Guide: Explore the Amazing Outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. Cohen says, “This is the book that I wish I had when I was young and exploring the woods and beaches around Victoria and nearby Salt Spring Island.”
During the Curious Kids Nature Talk, Fiona will engage kids and adults with fun facts. Did you know:
- Baby raccoons are smaller than a bar of soap!
- Anemones are green because of photosynthetic algae – so anemones that live in the shade are white!
- Carpenter ants feed each other by vomiting in each other’s mouths!!
Like the book, the Curious Kids Nature Talk is organized by habitat—forest, beaches, fresh water, and backyards and urban parks. During this presentation, kids will learn about some of the most intriguing flora, fauna, and natural phenomena of the region, and many ecological lessons.
Reservations are required by calling 425-316-8592. Admission is $5 for AASF members, $7 for non-members.
