Workshops and Classes

Nature Walk & Wildlife Tracking

A casual walk along the backyard trails, we'll look for wildlife signs. Deer, rabbit, fox and moose are frequent visitors to our backyard. We'll find where deer have bedded down for the night, visit a creature den, hear the many species of birds singing in the trees and identify the tracks of other area wildlife. We may even catch a glimpse of who is making the tracks! This nature walk is great for the beginner. Wear comfortable shoes or hiking boots.

Hiking Stick woodcraft

Forest Walking

Connect to nature as we slowly meander along the forest path while listening to the birds, looking at the different greens of the trees, smelling the fragrance of the forest air, dipping your toes in a stream while we drink in the flavour of the forest and connect to nature through our senses.
