The York Lake Regional Park asked a school in Yorkton to help them decorate their nature trail.
 
Grade 5 students from the Dr. Brass School painted birdhouses that were placed on trees throughout the trail for people to look at.
 
Diane Rusnak, one of the board members of the York Lake Regional Park, talked about how everything came about.
 
“We got a nature trail that we are trying to reopen up, and we did apply for a grant through the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and we received the grant to do improvement on the trail,” she said. “One of the things we thought we should do is implement some children in our projects. We purchased (22) birdhouses that Elgin Strocen had made.”
 
Rusnak added that they had the kids out last week to show them their work and treated them to some snacks for all their hard work.
 
“The kids had a great time, and we did too, and the birdhouses are up for everybody to see.”The York Lake Regional Park asked a school in Yorkton to help them decorate their nature trail."
