With a little help from Science North, the Niagara Parks Commission has created a space for visitors to the Niagara Glen where they can learn about all things natural.

he idea for the exchange came via a partnership between Niagara Parks and Science North in Sudbury.

Jennifer Booth, chief financial officer for Science North, was on hand at the opening.

“The Nature Exchange is a unique learning place. We want to inspire people of all ages to explore the world around them,” Booth said, adding that similar partnerships have been forged both north and south of the border, including Georgia, California, Oklahoma, Alberta, and more.

Visitors can bring in items to the exchange and have them examined. They can either take the items home or trade them for other items. Read more.
