We had a wonderful experience at the Weaselhead!  Thanks you to our volunteers and Ms. MacLeod who came with us - we appreciate you!  

Our naturalist guide took us through the park and showed us so many amazing things in nature.  We love learning on the land!


We looked closely at trembling aspen and learned how the powder on the bark has been used as a sunscreen in the past.  We also learned that the unique shape of the leaf's stem is what made the leaves tremble in the land.

We watched as the swallows scooped mud from the river bank to build their nests.  We even tried rubbing the mud together to make our own nests - only to find out we were missing a special ingredient (swallow spit).


We looked closely at an ant "ranch" and learned how they take care of aphids to harvest the sugar they create.


We had a chance to look at some of the creatures that call wetland spaces their home.
