About

Join me in a beautiful forest setting for a reading of my new Children's book 'A Tree Just Like Me'.

For this special event we will meet at the entrance to the Upper BX Falls Trail on Tillicum road in Vernon. From there I will guide the group on a short forest wander ending at the perfect picnic spot where I'll read 'A Tree Just Like Me' and lead a brief lesson on the connections between fungi and trees which includes an activity sheet.

This event is appropriate for all ages.

After, you are encouraged to stay for a picnic lunch and Q&A.

Organizer

Sarah Elliman

My name is Sarah Elliman and I am a counsellor, outdoor recreation instructor and author based in Vernon, BC. You might know me from the school ski program at Sovereign Lake Nordic Club or leading canoe trips for school groups with Elements Adventure Company. I love the outdoors which is why this event is being hosted in one of my favorite, family-friendly forest locations in the Vernon area.
