Description

Join us for a guided birding hike on the Saugeen Peninsula. Miptoon, a respected Knowledge Holder and local birding enthusiast from Neyaashiinigmiing will share his joy and knowledge of birds throughout our hike. As migrating birds return for the spring and summer, we’ll explore diverse habitats—including wetlands, forests, and meadows—offering a chance to observe a variety of bird species. Bring binoculars, a light backpack with essentials (snacks, water, and ID resources), and dress appropriately with long-sleeved clothing, a hat, and waterproof hiking boots. Be prepared for possible wet terrain. Hiking poles, gaiters, bug net hat and insect repellent are optional. This hike will be ~2 hours in duration. Participants are welcome to linger longer, if they wish. Raindate - May 28th.
