Nature ideas for families

Get the whole family engaged in outdoor nature exploration!
This week we're showcasing great spring resources to help little ones participate in citizen science near home.

May is Bird Blitz at Home month:
Visit Birds Canada at https://www.birdscanada.org/birdblitz
From your backyard or balcony, garden or window, what birds can you find? Explore the birds near you and participate in Bird Blitz at Home anytime during the month of May! It’s fun for all ages, participating is easy, and your observations help scientists monitor Canada’s birds!

EcoSpark's Scavenger Hunt brings an added challenge to family nature walks:
