The Ottawa Food Bank

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help sort food at The Ottawa Food Bank.  I have scheduled a time to do it again in the spring and will advertise closer to the date.  We had a good time and learned a lot about who the food bank serves and how it operates.  As you can imagine, demand for its services are increasing.  They will soon be starting Food Drives for the Holidays.

WINTER FAMILY FUN: NATURE GAMES, SKILLS AND LEARNING ENJOYED BY YOUNG & YOUNG-AT-HEART

2/23/2015

It warmed our spirits to have so many people from the Lindenlea and Ottawa community join Brittany and Alister from Roots2Fruits on Saturday for a gorgeous afternoon of Nature games and learning!  The event was organized to support and promote Lindenlea's upcoming community Edible & Wildlife Gardens. Participants got a chance to go on a Nature walk and play some skill-building games in the beautiful, freshly-fallen, fluffy blanket of snow.  
Some of the highlights included:
  • Using an animal tracking ruler to identify squirrel, fox, and deer tracks;
  • Finding a mouse hole;
  • Hearing the call of a Nuthatch and a Chickadee announcing the coming of spring
  • Using all of our senses and hiding abilities to play camouflage
  • and getting our vitamin C with a wild-harvested winter tea ("No Scurvy for Me!")

We closed the gathering by calling in Spring with a musical rainstorm. Although we're still very stoked about all of the amazing learning opportunities that Winter provides, we can't wait to see all of the magic that the next seasonal cycle will unfold!  

Keep posted for future gardening, cooking, and nature education sessions as part of the Lindenlea Edible & Wildlife Gardening initiative :-) To get involved, email [email protected] 

For Those who went on the nature walk...

The snow was a bit too powdery and fresh for us to see many clear prints, so here are a few photos Alister and Brittany took the other day. Can you spot the tracks?
