The first edition of Wandering Wednesdays – Winter Edition featured A. E. Wilson Park. You’ ll discover two secret islands in the city, what birds make it home in the winter (30 different species), what plants help birds out in the winter, what is happening under the ice and discover a beaver lodge (with real live beavers inside).
Classroom teachers can use the Get Outside! Outdoor Adventure Guides to support outdoor education. Teaching activities and resources are developed for each Wandering Wednesdays location.
Geared towards children ages six to 12, Nature Regina, Nature Saskatchewan and Saskoutdoors host the Get Outside! Kids Club every Wednesday. It’s an outdoor education program where kids learn about science (and a bit of French) as well while participating in hands- on learning activities. Come and safely meet other home learners including distance, e-school and homeschool learners. COVID 19 health and safety precautions are in place.
