The last NNC session will take you on an off campus excursion to the local McKellar Island Bird Observatory. We will learn about migratory songbirds and their Save the SongBirds Project. You will get to see first hand how they catch and release the birds, band them for tracking of species and you will even get to hold and release a bird as part of the experience! Our hosts John and Brady will tour us through the area and talk about the important connections between the land, native species and songbirds.

*This event requires walking through the forest on trails and will be fully outdoors. There is no washroom facility at the location. Please dress according to the weather and bring some bug spray!

Session three will lead us to the shaded shores of the McIntyre River on campus.  Join me amongst the trees to explore Creekside Creations.  This week we will engage with our creative spirits and let nature inspire us! We will have several nature inspired craft activities for you to choose from and have a beautiful and unique creation to take home with you.
