SUMMARY:Bird Walk at RK McMillan Park in Mississauga
DESCRIPTION:Join Ontario Nature at RK McMillan Park on Sat April 18\, 2026\, from 9 am to 11 am for a guided birding walk! We will wander the park looking for early spring migrating birds in the woodlands and red-necked grebes\, long-tailed ducks\, buffleheads\, and other waterbirds out on the lake\, while learning about bird identification\, conservation\, and community science projects. All are welcome to attend\, no birding experience necessary! This park is easily accessible with free parking\, nearby bus stops\, public washrooms\, and a relatively flat and even trail system.\n\nOntario Nature’s Conservation Science Coordinator\, Sarah Mueller\, will lead the bird walk and will share how to keep and submit a checklist to record bird observations on the community science platforms eBird and Nature Counts. These initiatives allow members of the public to contribute vital data on bird populations\, distribution\, and trends across Ontario. Attendees will take home a bird identification pocket guide\, and we will raffle off one copy of the second Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas.\n\nRegistration is required; use this link to register: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/ontarionature/2100101. Please bring binoculars if you have them. We will have binoculars and field guides available to loan for the event. We will meet at the parking lot here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/V1NPQ8CUCkj53EPn7.

SUMMARY:All About Turtles! A Community Forum hosted by the Friends of Stittsville Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Stittsville Wetlands are considering rolling out a turtle conservation program for the Goulbourn Wetland Complex and Poole Creek\, which runs through the heart of Stittsville. The cold or cool waters of Poole Creek are considered a crucial and rare habitat\, sustaining a unique ecological system of significant environmental and recreational value to the community of Stittsville and Ottawa. \nTo gauge community support for such an initiative\, the Friends of Stittsville Wetlands are hosting a forum on Earth Day\, Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026\, entitled “All About Turtles” from 7 – 9:30 PM at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

Seburn will focus on “Saving our Turtles. What can you do to help?” Mason’s talk is entitled “It takes a village: a community model for turtle conservation in the Carp Hills.” Browning will speak about the “Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre – Where Community and Conservation Connect.” \nAttend in person or watch the Livestream  \nPre-registration will be required  \nOur sincerest thanks to Stittsville Councillor Glen Gower for his support through the Stittsville Community Micro-Grant program and to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for the provision of their facilities.
