Join us for a family friendly guided walk, where we will be chatting all things nature. This event is free to attend. All ages are welcome. This is a slow-paced (kid pace) hike and we have lots of time to chat about things we find and see, such as plants, birds, mosses, lichens, tracks, etc.

Location: Waterford River Walk off Southside Road in west St. John's

Bring a mug for free tea and snacks after the hike!

Please dress for the weather, the trails can be wet and slippery. Hiking footwear is recommended. By participating you assume full responsibility for risks arising out of or related to participation in this event.

Welcome to Nature NL's online Bird Learning Night!

Welcome to Nature NL's online Bird Learning Night! 🦆
Join Nature NL and our experienced naturalists who will walk you through a series of bird photos and teach you how to identify each one!

Learn to use identification clues like looking at the shape of the bird, plumage, beak, behavior, etc. A great chance to improve your skills and learn from biologists and naturalists.🔎

You don't need to have any bird experience to participate, and there are always a variety of levels of birds (some very easy, some nearly impossible to ID). The photos are not perfect, but that's a very realistic way to learn identification because in the real world, we don't always get perfect views of birds either. 🦅

The session will start at 7:30pm (Newfoundland time) and wrap up at 8:30pm. See link below to join the zoom meeting!

Join us for our public talk on April 17th with Jodie Ashini. Jodie will be speaking about Innu history, and about keeping our past alive for our future. Come learn about the importance of indigenous led archaeology, social wellness and cultural awareness.

Jodie Ashini is a member of the Innu Nation, and was born and raised in the Innu homeland of Nitassinan, within the community of Sheshatshiu. She worked as an archaeological field technician in high school, studied archaeology at Memorial University, undertook community-based learning related to Innu history and culture, and worked in a variety of support roles for the Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation.

Thank you to Wildlife Habitat Canada for supporting Nature NL’s Activities! Wildlife Habitat Canada (WHC) is a non-profit organization that conserves wildlife habitat by making investments in conservation. In 2020, WHC introduced the Community Conservation Action Program (CCAP) as a pilot, to help smaller organizations access the funding that they need to make a difference in conservation within their community. This program supports WHC’s commitment to find innovative projects that get Canadians outdoors, connecting with nature! To learn more, visit www.whc.org/CCAP.

We have an exciting Waterbird Monitoring Program update! We had a look at all the data collected over the past 60 surveys, and in total, 5487 birds were observed. Swipe to the end to see the top ten most common birds.

A big thank you to our volunteers who have worked on this project!

The goal of these surveys is to collect baseline data of bird activity along the coastal regions of the Avalon Peninsula to inform oil spill preparedness and industrial development proposals. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to Jill at the email address: programs@naturenl.ca
