On March 25, 26 and 27th, between 2 and 4pm, the Bowen Nature Club’s (F)unschool will be running a Spring Break mini-series for people of all ages. We’ll explore three different Bowen areas.
First we’ll hike into Fairy Fen, where we’ll see evidence of early logging on Bowen, see the slow transformation of a small lake into rainforest (bouncy bog forest floor!), and find some of the deepest mud around in the bog and fen.
On day two, we’ll head for the beach to look at the way our island is shaped by the earth‘s and sea’s movement, and by the plants and animals that live here.
And finally we’ll hike up a bluff, starting in the forest down below and emerging to look out and see our island from above!
Children must be accompanied by an adult and, as this is a cumulative exploration, it is best to do all three days of the series. This outing is suitable for all ages but will require an average amount of physical fitness as we’ll be walking up and down hills. Strollers will not fit on the trails. Plan to carry or walk slowly with small children.
