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.
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.
*This event requires walking through the forest on trails and will be fully outdoors. There is also no washroom facility at the location.
Join us for an interactive Campfire Kitchen experience led by Jenny Veal! Dive into the world of outdoor cooking as we introduce you to the art of crafting delicious meals over an open flame.

Forest Therapy is based on the Japanese practice of "Shinrin-yoku" (Forest Bathing), which is a form of therapeutic relaxation in which your senses are immersed in nature to relax, heighten awareness and form a deeper connection to nature. As a certified guide I believe in the healing power of nature. Walks provide an intentional space to slow down, breathe deeply and remember the quiet strength that lives within you.
