It's the place where visitors can bring items from nature and trade for other items from our constantly changing collection! Almost everyone has collected something at some point in their lives. One thing is for sure, once person's interest or fascination has been sparked, most collectors go to great lengths to increase and enhance their collections! Trading or buying from shops or other collector
s are two way, although buying is the most common route. This is one reason why The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre's Northern Nature Trading experience is unique! The whole concept of having a small shop where you can get things without money is most unusual. Another unique feature is that Northern Nature Trading deals only with items from nature therefore traders can easily start collecting and trading with no cost involved! Each item is awarded a point value based on an universal points criteria applied by Northern Nature Trading experience employees. Once a trader has received a total point score, points can be used to trade for other items on display in our vast collection! Another option available to the trader is the opportunity of banking points in our database under a name to be used at their discretion, which gives younger traders an idea of what SAVING and BUDGETING is all about! Once the points are in the Northern Nature Trading database they can be used at all other partnering Northern Nature Trade shops! This allows a traders points to used in different cities and regions where can collect and trade more local specific items! Our partnering locations include Sudbury's Science North and Dynamic Earth Rockhound Lab, North Bay Regional Tourist Centre, Thunder Bay Public Library, Science Timmins, Lake Of The Woods Discovery Centre and Niagara Glen Nature Exchange!
