🌱 A heartfelt thank you to DSBN's Regional Dig It SHSM Program for spending time at Heartland Forest this year! The students did a great job cleaning up the front garden bed at the Nature Centre.

We are so grateful for their hard work and commitment to environmental stewardship. We're especially excited that they will be returning again this week to lend a hand in another area of the property!

Thank you for choosing Heartland Forest as a place to learn, grow, and give back to the community. We look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership.💚🌿
