Bundle up and join this event for a winter experience that combines the thrill of snowshoeing with the fascinating world of cold-weather critters. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or a first-timer, this event promises fun, learning, and a deeper connection to the wonders of nature.

Erin McGauley will lead everyone in exploring the Heartlands Loop, a 3 km trail closest to the chalet, and will stop for a rest at the sugar shack warm-up cabin. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore the magic of winter landscapes and uncover the secrets of nature’s smallest wonders. Details:

• Guided snowshoe trek: Traverse picturesque snowy trails with a guide leading the way. Bring your own snowshoes or rent a pair.

• Cost: Participants will need to purchase a snowshoe pass for $13 + HST. If you aren’t bringing your own snowshoes, you can rent them onsite for $15 per day (limited quantities, call to reserve).

• Winter insect observation: Discover the hidden world of winter insects. Learn how these tiny creatures adapt and thrive in cold environments with a naturalist-led discussion and (hopefully!) some hands-on exploration.

• Warm-up station: Relax and recharge at the sugar shack by the fire. Bring along a hot beverage if you wish. Space is limited, so sign up early! Register by e-mailing [email protected] beginning February 1.
