The Kam Valley Reserve is located near Stanley, about 20 minutes from the city. There is some room for parking nearby. Access to the Whitefish River and the south part of the reserve is through the bush about 100 metres. The shoreline on the Whitefish R. extends about 500 m. east/west.
This year’s fall roundup of birds will be held on Saturday, November 7. Individuals and groups are asked to set their own birding routes and report their findings to NWO Birds. You may choose to count birds at your feeder from the comfort of your home, go for a drive, take a hike, or any combination of methods.
This evening will be persented as a Zoom meeting for members only. It will start with our Annual General Meeting where new members of the Board of Directors will be voted on. A financial report and appointment of our auditor will also take place. Any other business needing a vote by the members will also be presented.
Join Gerry Racey and Al Harris for a winter hike through parts of the Pine Bay 2 Nature Reserve and the Western Lake Superior Conservation Reserve. These make up parts of a provincially significant wetland on the shores of Pine Bay on Lake Superior. We will snowshoe into and through wetland environments, conifer forest, swamp, fen and treed bog.
Join us on Zoom for an entertaining and informative night of exploring Michipicoten Island from a unique perspective. You will hear about the recent history of caribou; use by local indigenous communities and a bit about our new Nature Reserves on the island.
Join Sue Bryan for a winter hike to Caldwell Lake Nature Reserve on the Lake Superior shore. Look for winter birds, mammal tracks and sign in the snow, possibly very early signs of spring. Snowshoes are required. Bring a hearty lunch, water, and dress appropriately for the winter conditions considering level of physical exertion, wind and temperature. The hike into the site along a rough forest trail is about 1.5 hours. Depending on snow conditions it could represent a high level of physical exertion. If ice conditions on Lake Superior are suitable we may hike in through the forest on the trail but return along the Superior shoreline on the frozen lake. We hope to stop for an outdoor hot coffee or tea and eat lunches outdoors at the Bryan cabin on the Superior shore (half way mark in the total hike).
