The canvas of winter snow provides a great opportunity to focus on exploring local mammals. Many mammals are shy or nocturnal and seldom seen, but tracking allows us to not only determine what animals are present but get a glimpse into their activities and how they use the landscape. Join Mark and Lynda to search for what tracks and signs we can find and, with a little luck, a fresh snowfall can provide a window into the lives of animals unseen.
Owls are one of the first bird species to begin defending territories each year, with their hooting livening winter nights. Join Mark on a evening outing to listen for these nocturnal predators.
Details coming soon...
Come outdoors to connect with nature using our senses and through games and fun activities (best suited for ages 6-11). Themes explored may include plant and animal interactions, Indigenous knowledge, nature art, and mindfulness. You will be invited to make and share cedar tea together (families are responsible to bring their own cups).
