Linley Valley is Nanaimo’s hidden gem of a park just north of Departure bay. With Nature Mentor and environmental educator Travis Barrington (from Nanaimo’s Recycling Exchange) we will learn all about decomposers as an important part of nature’s cycles.

Travis will bring along some composting critters for us to see up close (if you have a composting bin in your own backyard you might already know some of them!), and then we will go on a trail walk to see some ‘nurse logs’ and other places where decomposers are doing their work.

Lastly we will do some dip netting in the pond to observe the biodiversity that is just out of sight! Bring some rubber boots as the trails might be muddy!
