The Comox Valley Young Naturalists Club enjoyed a nature walk in Paradise Meadows today among the mist & fall colours .
The focus was on the meadows as a 'snow forest' - the amount of snow in this sub-alpine area greatly affects the size and location of the trees.
Several gray jays visited the group and rainbow trout were seen in the small creeks.
Young Naturalists Clubs are for children 5-14 & their families who learn about nature on Explorer Days - outings led by local nature experts.
