About this Event

Earth Month - Guided Bird Walk

Celebrate the return of birds to our Community. Join walk leaders Martha and Julia for an interactive bird walk.

Learn how to spot bird species that have just completed their long migration from the south to raise their families in Markham during the spring and summer. We will highlight the need to create and adapt environments that support migratory bird populations in our bustling city. The participants will also learn about City of Markham’s Bird Friendly Guidelines and the actions they can take to protect migratory birds.

We will be demonstrating how to use binoculars, field guides and great birding apps to prepare you for your next birding adventure! Join walk leader Martha Miller and Julia Zarankin author of the book, Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder.

Walk length: 1.5 hours

Bring your binoculars.

This program is for ages 6 and above.

Dogs are not allowed (Guide dogs excepted).

Please dress appropriately for the weather, hiking boots are recommended.

Free

Please Note: It is your responsibility to be up to date on whether a walk is cancelled in extreme temperatures, weather events or unforeseen circumstances.
