Get to Know Nature FREE Event

Get to Know the Changing Seasons

Join us for an afternoon in the park where your family or group can enjoy a wide variety of interactive, guided and self-directed activities on a variety of themes from plants to pollinators, and from birds to beavers. Example winter activities:

• warm up by the campfire and listen to a story,
• try snowshoeing, birding and other outdoor activities,
• learn about the birds that live here year-round,
• hunt for wildlife tracks,
• discover local wildlife survival adaptations,
• find out how you can protect the park when you visit,
• and much more!

Events will happen monthly, from February to November, 2022. Event themes, dates, times and locations will vary throughout the year. *Event details are subject to change due to weather, facility access or other unforeseen circumstances, so please check this website to confirm event location and time before attending.
