Although small and cryptic, lichens are a big and integral part of the northern landscape. This hike along the Picnic Point Trail near Mink Mountain will display how lichens contribute to and create different habitats, as we move from the rocky Lake Superior shoreline to the nearby forests. Having a hand lens will be of benefit, as we move from the rocky shoreline to the nearby forests. Meet at the Movati parking lot at 9:30 am. Contact Hanna Dorval at hannadorval@gmail.com to register.

You probably see birds around you every day, but how much attention do you pay to them? Birding is a wonderful way to start learning about local wildlife - unlike any other critters that can be difficult or rare to spot, birds can usually be seen no matter where you are, even in urban spaces. Keith Wade will help guide us on a walk at Boulevard Lake as we look and listen for land and water birds, practice identifying the birds we see and hear, and learn about their behaviours and habitats.
Bring your binoculars!
