For the 3rd year in a row, The Boreal Discovery Centre is offering summer programming.
Chris Sawatsky, who helped organize the programming, says participants learn about the boreal forest: "Learning how to use willows, learning how to use bark, so that’s part of the plants and teaching them about plants so we go for a little walk and I point out what’s medicinal, what’s not, what’s poisonous and so on and so forth".
Penny Byer, who’s also involved with the centre, says although this is the 3rd year they’re offering the programming, it’s only the second year it revolves around the boreal forest.
