We trained teachers in youth manual techniques at the Camosun bog pro-D event. Camosun bog is an ancient ecosystem imbedded in the heart of a busy city. It contains an extraordinary biodiversity of species such as carnivorous sundews and arctic starflower, cloudberry. On a wet, cold west coast monsoon, this bog glows with beauty and colour: The perfect location for demonstrating how a city emerges from the wilderness.
Susan, wilderness chick, enabled participants to learn 10 bog species in just 10 minutes, using silly memory tricks, one participant is being a little teapot and holding labrador tea. |
