About the Event

        If you bring a small herb and spice kit with you when you go camping, chances are you’ve got useful medicines in that kit.  And surrounding you in nature are a variety of common plants that will also help keep you comfortable and healthy on your camping vacation.  

        Even if you don’t usually bring herbs and spices with you on your hikes, cycles, paddles, and drives, this workshop might prompt you to add more savour and flavour to your everyday meals (and your camping holidays), knowing just how much you can help your body take care of itself effectively by making your meals a little more yummy.  And it might ignite your interest in the useful medicines surrounding you in nature!

        Adult or caregiver of 16+ may be accompanied by up to three children of 12 or under at no additional charge.  Please be aware that this is a scent-free event, and come prepared:  https://drive.proton.me/urls/MJDRRY8H8R#ScmsMelqFp41.

        This event is a fundraiser towards making our public washrooms wheelchair accessible and all-season, and winterizing our nature centre.

         Meet at the picnic shelter at the north end of the pond.

Important    Notes

Orientation to the DarkSky Preserve, Campground & Observation Field

The DarkSky Preserve has a no white light policy after sunset: no campfires; please have red filters for your flashlights, headlamps, and camping lamps; plan to arrive by sunset to drive a car in. The gate will be closed to cars after sunset.

  • The DarkSky Preserve or DSP includes an observation field plus campsites, the Stargazing Cabin, and Milky Way Bunkie for overnight guests. As a courtesy please keep voices low and cell phones on silent after sunset

  • No white light is allowed in the DSP including no campfires, cell phone screens, or vehicle headlights.

  • While we encourage event participants to walk without artificial light as much as possible, as a safety measure please be sure to bring your own flashlights and/or headlamps with AMBER or RED filters sufficient to colour and significantly dim the light shining through (you can attach cloth or cellophane paper with tape).

  • Astronomy guides will be at the front and back of the group with amber or red light sources.

  • On standard settings, cell phones should not be used as flashlights, or for taking pictures due to the white light of their screens and flashes. Alternatively, you can download an AMBER OR RED LIGHT app for your smartphone.

  • No laser pointers of any kind or strength (other than in use by our astronomy staff).

  • The DSP gate is closed to vehicles after sunset.

  • During all astronomy events, for safety all guests should stay with their guide and the group at all times. If you need to leave the event early for any reason, please be sure to notify one of the astronomy guides before you go.
