You can trade things made by nature like rocks, shells, fossils and pine cones. Trading is based on points; you are awarded points for what you know about your item, what makes it different from similar ones and the quality (clean, good condition). For more information contact the Mary J.L. Black Community Hub or email nnt@tbpl.ca
