“The Nature Centre has become a hub for nature education through summer nature camps, school programming, tourists visiting and partnerships with Houston Link to Learning, the Office of the Wet'suwet'en, Morice Watershed Monitoring Trust and other community groups like the seniors housing and day cares. Through this space we are also able to have a meeting and storage space for conservation activities in the area.”
