The Pine River Watershed's McLarty Environmental Area has provided an enriching area for our Horticultural Youth Group to meet each year. The 30 children in our group, ages 6-14, look forward, each year, to the meetings held at the centre. They have had the opportunity to see and learn about our native species of flora and fauna. Hiking on the trail to identify plant and bird species and observing frogs are some of their favorite activities.
