10:30 am to 12:30 pm, HOWARD PARK TENNIS CLUB, 430 Parkside Drive
Ben will be talking about native plants and bolstering urban ecology, safeguarding urban natural areas from invasive species and extensive human over use, while capitalizing on events that give people full nature experiences even in large cities.
Ben will also discuss the native plants in the World Wildlife Fund and Carolinian Canada website, In the Zone Gardens, as well as Forest therapy and other activities that can build pride and integrity in socio-environmental initiatives to ensure long-term viability of diverse urban natural ecosystems.
Admission to Colborne Lodge is free on March 25th with Easter-themed explorations & treats for children.
The High Park Egg Hunt at Colborne Lodge is not occurring this year as attendance has increased to the point that it has outgrown the capacity of the museum to offer a safe, fun and accessible environment for everyone who would want to attend.
