Love and nurturing exist across all species, from humans to plants and animals alike! Join us to explore the many ways species care for one another along the Fraser River, from humans helping salmon to trees supporting surrounding plants and wildlife. Through hands-on and self-guided activities, discover how birds travel and protect each other in flocks, explore family bonds in the animal kingdom, and write love letters to your favorite beings—whether a human, an animal, or a plant!
