That bridge led Anne's dancing feet up over a wooded hill beyond, where perpetual twilight reigned under the straight, thick-growing firs and spruces the only flowers there were myriads of delicate 'June bells,' those shyest and sweetest of woodland blooms, and a few pale, aerial starflowers, like the spirits of last year's blossoms. She had made friends with the spring down in the hollow - that wonderful deep, clear icy-cold spring it was set about with smooth red sandstones and rimmed in by great palm-like clumps of water fern and beyond it was a log bridge over the brook. She had discovered that a lane opened out below the apple orchard and ran up through a belt of woodland and she had explored it to its furthest end in all its delicious vagaries of brook and bridge, fir coppice and wild cherry arch, corners thick with fern, and branching byways of maple and mountain ash. Already she was acquainted with every tree and shrub about the place. As soon as her doctor allowed her to put her foot out-of-doors she hurried up to Green Gables, bursting with curiosity to see Matthew and Marilla's orphan, concerning whom all sorts of stories and suppositions had gone abroad in Avonlea.ДЄnne had made good use of every waking moment of that fortnight. Rachel was not often sick and had a well-defined contempt for people who were but grippe, she asserted, was like no other illness on earth and could only be interpreted as one of the special visitations of Providence. A severe and unseasonable attack of grippe had confined that good lady to her house ever since the occasion of her last visit to Green Gables. Rachel, to do her justice, was not to blame for this.

Submitted by Nicola Naturalist Society president Dr.Chapter 9 of Anne of Green Gables ( view full book Д©. The RBCMвЂ™s exhibit was open to the public on Saturday, Aug. The вЂњSpecies at RiskвЂќ program continues this week, led by the RBCMвЂ™s outreach team Rachelle Linde and Jenny Arnold. Alan Burger also talked to the kids about the Great Basin Spadefoot and the unique habit that this small frog has of digging deep into sandy soils to avoid dry and cold periods in their grassland habitat.

The kids got to see for themselves the toadlets moving along the guide-fence and passing safely under the road in the culvert. Many thousands of toadlets are now saved each summer.ДЄt the park, the Nicola NaturalistвЂ™s amphibian program coordinator, Andrea Lawrence, explained the lives of Western Toads and introduced the kids to the tiny thumb-nail sized toadlets. To reduce the mortality rate, BC Parks installed a culvert and the Nicola Naturalist Society built a low wooden fence to guide the tiny toadlets safely to the culvert. In past years many tiny toadlets, migrating to the forest from their hatching pond, were being run over by cars on the parkвЂ™s busy campsite road. Instead of talking about these animals in a classroom setting, the children were bussed to Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park to have a first-hand experience with Western Toads and to see the conservation program there, run by the Nicola Naturalist Society and BC Parks.
