4-H Cloverbuds September Meeting Press Report

The Cloverbuds topic for our (final) September meeting was “Nature Fun” and we had a great time exploring the local conservation area.

🍄‍🟫🪾 We were so fortunate this month to be joined by Trevor from RiverOak who led the kids in a very informative nature walk. The kids learned about poison sacs that distinguish toads from frogs, edible Hawthorn berries, tree bark uses, the healing powers of jewel w**d against poison ivy, insect tracks on trees under their bark, and the most popular asked for topic of the day: ALL THE MUSHROOMS.

After a much needed snack and water break the kids split up to do a nature scavenger hunt. We finished the day with a yarn spider web where everyone shared their favourite thing they learned/saw before tossing the ball to a friend.

It was a great first year for the Cloverbuds in Russell and we can’t wait to come back next year!
