Event Details

Open to all ages and experience levels, this flexible citizen science event is a chance to learn about local species, contribute valuable observations, and connect with fellow nature enthusiasts, researchers from Carleton University, and experts from local field naturalist clubs. Participants are welcome to stay for as much or as little of the event as they wish.

Please note:

• Parking is available on site; carpooling is always encouraged.
• Participants are encouraged to bring a charged device with iNaturalist pre-downloaded. Photos can also be uploaded to iNaturalist after the event using a camera or mobile device.

• Please leave pets at home – the wildlife will thank you!
