Our friends on the high school Cranbrook cross country team have been utilizing the trails at the nature center since early July. We love hosting them as we have in previous years. Our newsletter editor is inspired to start running again after seeing the above Instagram tags, but it may fall short of becoming a reality just like eating more vegetables did for her. |

Bowers School Farm and Johnson Nature Center sit on Land, that was made by warm shallow seas and slow-moving glacial formations, with the most recent glaciers receding 14,000 years ago. This is the ancestral Land, Anishinaabewaki, of the Indigenous Peoples of the Potawatomi and Ojibwe, and the Ottawa, were the People of The Three Fires, the Anishinabek. This Land remains the contemporary dwelling of the Anishinabek.
