Hello families,
Our next Explorer Day will be Sunday, April 10th from 1pm – 3pm for a Tsolum River Walk!
Join us down at the beautiful Tsolum River to explore spring wildflowers. Woodland wildflowers are abundant this season, and we are sure to find white and pink fawn lilies and trilliums. The trail starts at the Courtenay Exhibition Grounds and loops through prime lily habitat. A few wildlife viewing highlights that can be found along the river are bald eagles, kingfishers and herons. Some of the natural features include dense thicket of alder, small remnant forest of Douglas fir, wet areas of alder, salmonberry, and skunk cabbage and some of the largest Sitka spruce that can be found in the Tsolum River floodplain trails.
Meeting Place: The exhibition grounds parking lot, beside the Comox Valley Curling Club on Headquarters Road, across from Vanier High School.
Please dress for weather with boots, toques, gloves or rain gear as needed. You may wish to bring a snack and water bottle.
Note that we usually go ahead rain or shine, however, in the event of heavy rain, strong winds, or snow, we will cancel. If we cancel we will send out an email the morning of the Explorer Day.
We hope to see you on the 10th!

Can I come even if I’m not a member?
Hi Josefina,
In regards to your question, we always welcome interested and potential participants to come out to our Explorer Days. If you like what you’ve experienced and choose to continue participating with our group, then we (NatureKids BC) require an annual family membership fee of $25.00, which provides a membership package for each child in your family, as well as a quarterly magazine, NatureWILD, featuring nature-related articles and activities.
Thank you, Jarrett
