Whether it's your first visit or you've been here many times, come find new habitats, new friends and most importantly, birds. Enjoy your visit!

Wildflower Walk

Explore the colourful world of our spring wildflowers! Join a park interpreter on this hour long guided walk through the Carolinian forest in search of blooming wildflowers. You don't need to be a birder to spot these beautiful sights!
