Spring field trips

Written By Molly Wilson

May field trip highlights:

  • Cooking: Bigleaf maple-flower pancakes with maple syrup; rhubarb compote on pancakes with whipped cream (depending on the day).

  • Animals: Visited new baby goats, growing pigs, and chickens. Started to learn basic native bird identification.

  • Farm Fields: Three-sisters plus brother sunflower stories and planting (Indigenous). Learned about mushroom mycelia and spread inoculated King Stropharia woodchips around garden and planted potatoes.

  • Nature: Native plant identification and paintings on cedar planks, using Strong Nations plant ID cards with SENCOTEN & Hul’q’umi’num names. Removed invasive English ivy and Scotch broom and planted native trees in forest.
