Our after school Coyotes group is an adventurous one. They're always up for something new: a trail, a meandering creek, a new pond to explore. Over the last four weeks, we have visited several areas of the park. We've explored the big pond (Board of Ed pond), Sunfish Pond, and have examined creatures in the Strasburg Creek. We have walked to high, sandy places, through sumac forests, along pond-shores, and through woodland trails. We have balanced on logs, traversed flowing creeks, gotten our feet wet and muddy, and discovered "new" creatures. We have been wet and cold and dirty and hot and happy. We play hard! We are active, enthusiastic, and adventurous. We also love to share the nature knowledge that we have learned. We have made new friends! Here's a peek into our time together so far:

We love this land where we play and learn: the sun that warms us, the trees that give us shade, beauty and places to climb. The plants that give us food. The creatures who teach us about how to live in a good way. Thank you to the bugs and turtles, the great blue herons and the tadpoles. To the fairy shrimp, the tree swallows, the pond snails, the newts. To the Jack-in-the-pulpits, the trout lilies, the goldenrod, the asters - all of you are so beautiful and teach us so much. To the water, which is life - the ponds, creeks and the Grand River watershed.
We are honoured to walk, learn, and play on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton Nations, treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee. Grateful for the ongoing care, stewardship, and teachings from Indigenous Peoples that help us walk gently on this earth. We are committed to the ongoing process of decolonization through partnering with local Indigenous educators in our facilitation, learning about the past and about good ways forward together, and respecting the land as our First Teacher.
