The Friends of the Kerry Wood Nature Centre is offering a Children's Winter Bird Feeding Program on Sunday, November 28th at 2:00 pm. Bring your children aged 6 - 13 down for this hands-on program. They'll get a chance to identify winter birds and learn what and how to feed them. Participants will construct a bird feeder and be given seed to take home. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Program cost is $7/child for Friends members and $8/child for non-members. For more information or to register, please call Bob at 403-346-2010 ext 103.

Chrismas Light Exchange
Today marks the start of this year's Christmas light exchange, and we're already seeing big demand. Offered in partnership with the City of Red Deer Electric Light and Power Department and Environmental Initiatives Division, the exchange gives you the opportunity to recycle your old incandescent lights by trading them for more energy-efficient LEDs.
Bring your old lights to the Nature Centre, and for every two strings of old-style lights you'll receive a string of LED lights.
Our thanks to London Drugs, this year's light supplier.
For more information, call the Kerry Wood Nature Centre at 403-346-2010.
