2026 Earth Day

On Wednesday, April 22nd, stop by the Museum for some excellent Earth Day ecological explorations! We'll be open by donation, 10 am to 5 pm, so you can visit our current travelling exhibit from the Royal BC Museum — BC’s Marvellous Mushrooms — then choose your fungi-fueled adventure. Try an egg carton-mushroom craft, explore our "mapping mycelium" scavenger hunt, and peruse our native plants and animals display. We're sure to have something to attract your attention - it's in our nature!
