March 30th – Week 1: Heroic Hummingbirds
Ever wonder how hummingbirds survive the winter? Or how they manage to eat enough to keep those buzzing wings a flutter? Join us as we explore the different hummingbird species in BC. We will learn about local populations and all the wonderful adaptations that keep these unique and marvelous birds present year-round.
Do you know any children who are captivated by creatures? Hungry for hummingbirds? Bananas about bees? Wild over woodpeckers? Or dead set on diving into the world of ducks? SPES is running our THIRD Critter Club Series! Critter Club offers young minds a place to grow their curiosity, meet other like-minded children, and have fun!
Clubbers, age 9-13**, will meet once a week, over four weeks starting March 30th, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. over Zoom and will be offered an optional exciting activity to do on their own! Activities will be based around sustainable living and learning how to protect our precious wildlife. Participants will have a chance to share and showcase their individual activities the following week.
