CPAWS-OV is proud to offer our staff and volunteer team frequent professional development opportunities. Since many of our team members spend time outdoors and in the field, we are offering a wilderness first aid course for volunteers, program participants, and staff on Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28 at our Executive Director’s farm in Mayo, Quebec. We have a few spots left! Please consider joining us!
This is a trip for nature and mushroom lovers. We will visit the Marlborough Forest, located not far from Ottawa. This place is known as homeland for several species from Suillus genus. We'll learn how to identify the different species of Suillus and other Boletes. During our guided hike, we'll learn also about other various kinds of mushrooms and fungi.
This is a trip for mushroom lovers. We will visit several places at the crown land in Quebec to explore suitable areas for mushroom harvesting. During our guided hike, we'll learn about various kinds of mushrooms and fungi.
This is a guided hike to learn more about fall mushrooms. We'll find out how to differentiate edible honey mushrooms from several other similar species, some of which can be poisonous. We'll also know about mushrooms associated with mycorrhiza of honey mushrooms such as Aborted Entoloma or shrimps of the woods.
