PHOTO CONTEST: Snap a photo of one or more of Paul’s beautiful creations and email it to llehive@wspr.ca or DM us on Facebook and you will be entered in to win 1 of 3 prizes. One entry per photo sent. Contest closes on May 25, 2022 at 5:00 PM. Please note photos will be posted on our social media channels.
Bonus: Download this handy guide and see if you can match the art to the fun facts and animal descriptions as you stroll!
