SUMMARY:Appreciating Amazing Araneae (Winnipeg\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop about a Misunderstood Animal and Learning to Appreciate Their Finer Details \nThe earth is full of critters both big and small. Some we find easier to admire than others. Some may even uproot feelings of fear. In this A Rocha workshop\, we will take a closer look at the beauty of an animal that many feel unsettled by. By zooming into the fine details of spiders\, we will collectively work together to find their beauty and begin to breakdown the fears that may surround them. \nLed by A Rocha insect enthusiast\, Tai Linklater\, we will use macrophotography by Thomas Hunt — Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award winner — to make beautiful collage artwork out of photographs of spiders. \nAll ages welcome! From spider admirer to those scared by them. It should be tolerable for those without an intense fear of spiders. \nDate: Aug 6\, 7:00-8:30 pm \nLocation: CMU grounds. 500 Shaftesbury Blvd. Meet by the Metanoia Farm Gates \nWe’ll bring the supplies\, you bring a lawn chair!

SUMMARY:Volunteer Day (ON)
DESCRIPTION:Come care for creation at the A Rocha Ontario Centre!\n\n\n\nThis month we will be spading Phragmites! \nYou’ve heard of Phragmites. You see it growing in the ditches and roadsides. An invasive wetland grass that grows up to 5 metres tall\, it aggressively destroys local ecosystems by forming dense monocultures\, depleting water levels\, and releasing toxins that kill surrounding plants.  \nAt this volunteer morning you will learn more about how invasive Phragmites is managed and take part in a morning of spading – digging it out to reduce its spread through the wetland at the Ontario Centre and make room for beneficial native plant communities.  \nWear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes for working outdoors. Bring a water bottle and work gloves if you have them. \nTools and equipment are provided. \nAn optional lunch will be provided following the volunteer activities. It will be a simple vegetarian meal (e.g. soup or salad\, depending on the season). We would love to have you stay for food and conversation! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdults and families are welcome to participate. Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult.\n\n\n\nRegister below.
