We organize a guided tour to Mud Lake in Ottawa for observation of migratory birds. This place (a part of Britannia Conservation Area) is a real paradise for birds and birdwatchers. So, we invite birdwatchers and other naturalists to explore bird diversity during the start of autumn bird migration.
This trip will take place at the peak of autumn colors, which at this time form the unique landscape of the park and attract many visitors who want to see this beauty. We have booked a place for 6 people in the Pog Lake and Kearney Lake Campground from Friday (it's September 30th) until Sunday (it's October 2nd).
This is a free guided hike for those who are interested to know more about birds and mammals that are well adapted to urban conditions or stay at the lake during migration. We'll meet at 9:00 am on October 22 at the parking along Cassels Street near Mud Lake. We'll explore the area near Ottawa River and around Mud Lake to see mammals and birds inhabiting this area in October. Families with kids are invited.
This is an excursion for everyone who wants to learn more about nature in the Ottawa River Valley in a small nature reserve located near the town of Pakenham.

This is a guided hike to explore Gatineau Park in the evening time for those who are interested to know more about dwellers of the forests and wetlands, tiny creatures that just woke up after hibernation, and nocturnal bird species.

We are planning a trip to one of the most interesting places in the Ottawa River Valley.

We will start our hike at the Bonnechere Museum, in the town of Eganville, where we'll have a chance to know about the geological history of Ottawa Valley. During our walk along the Geoheritage Trail, we'll pay attention not only to geology and fossils but also to the environment: birds, insects, and plants in the area.
