Festival of Nature: Birding the Sheldon Point Trail - FULL

Sheldon Point Trail

Enjoy early morning birding along a scenic coastal trail. Sheldon Point offers a variety of mixed habitats that are sure to produce a number of resident and passage migrant species. The trail winds along the Fundy coast for several kilometers, with dirt and gravel underfoot: be prepared for some up- and down-hill climbs. Time permitting we may explore the opposite side of the road, the Irving Nature Park Children’s Forest, and overlooking the Lancaster sewage treatment facility and lake.
Kids welcome!

Festival of Nature: Irishtown Nature Park Canoe and Kayak Outing

Irishtown Nature Park

Join us for paddle around the edges of the lake at beautiful Irishtown Nature Park, the third largest municipal park in Canada. Bring your own watercraft, or reserve a canoe or kayak (first come, first served). We will be exploring several beaver lodges and various grasses and flowers. The birding, both on the water and in the surrounding forest, should be great. The tour will be led by subject matter experts.
