Saturday, March 14, 2026 - Connection to Nature with Games with Ken Kalisch
Afternoon - Uxbridge
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).
Saturday, March 21, 2026 - Waterfowl Identification Workshop with James and Lynda Kamstra
Morning - Goodwood
This is not a hike, but an indoor presentation and discussion to learn about identifying the various species of ducks, geese, swans, and other waterfowl that occur in or pass through our area. It will consist of a slide presentation and suggested field guides, digital tools, and other resources for identifying waterbirds. March is when these birds start moving through the area on available open water, so this is a great primer to gear up for early spring birding.
Saturday, April 11, 2026 - Peepers and Creepers with James Kamstra
Evening - Scugog
One of the first signs of spring thawing is the breeding frenzy amphibians on a warm spring evening. Join James to explore some spring wetlands looking for Spring Peepers, Wood Frogs, and other early-emerging amphibians as they return to their breeding sites to compete for females and lay their eggs.
Saturday, May 2, 2026 - Early Spring Wildflowers with Mark Dorriesfield
Afternoon - Uxbridge
Many species of wildflowers in our deciduous forest are "ephemeral", only blooming for a short time in the spring before the trees leaf-out and block out the light from the forest floor. Join Mark to look for these beautiful harbingers of spring.
