Summer Discovery Days: Protecting Our Fraser Homes

Protecting Our Fraser Homes

The
FRDC is delighted to offer extra programming during long weekends with Summer
Discovery Days! There’s so much to see and discover on these long summer days,
and we hope you’ll join us!     

Plants
and animals belong to ecosystems—helping maintain balance and supporting
healthy habitats. When invasive species spread into new environments, they can
disrupt food webs, compete with native species, and alter rivers and
landscapes. Join us to explore how invasive species affect ecosystems in the
Fraser Basin, how healthy waterways can be restored, and what we can do to help
protect local habitats.

WHAT:

·      
Enjoy
an interactive puppet show exploring invasive species and their impacts on
local ecosystems.

·      
Explore
how streams can be restored and learn how healthy waterways support native
species.

·      
Play
a cornhole matching game to discover where different invasive species originate
and how they spread.

·      
Learn
about invasive species found along the Fraser River.
