With help from the Whistler Naturalists and the Whistler Biodiversity Project, the Museum will again be offering a public education program throughout July and August at Lost Lake Park. The program includes a “pop up” museum at Lost Lake, nature walks and an activity booklet for kids.
Our touch tables let you handle things like skulls and pelts that you won’t normally find out in the forests.
Because last year’s was so successful (the Museum interacted with an average of 250 people per day) the “pop up” museum will be at Lost Lake for 4 days per week instead of 3. It will be open Tuesday through Friday from 10 am – 4 pm beginning tomorrow, July 4th, and running until September 1st. Find us at our tent outside the concession by the Lost Lake beach.
Highlights this year will include touch tables showcasing a wide range of Whistler’s amazing nature hosted by nature interpreters and a different theme for each week day of operation – forests, bears & berries, wetlands, things with wings – so come back on different days to discover something new!
Discover Nature will also include nature walks meeting at 11 am at the PassivHaus Tuesdays through Fridays and ending at the Discover Nature Station. Nature walks will run for about one hour.
Don’t forget to fill in the Discover Nature activity booklet! This self-guided booklet is full of fun activities that teach about the wonders of nature here in Whistler. The booklet includes illustrations by local artist Kate Zessel and a completion certificate. Get your own copy of the Discover Nature activity booklet at the Whistler Museum, Lost Lake, Armchair Books and Whoola Toys.
We’re looking forward to to a fun summer discovering nature!
