Families and bird enthusiasts in Mississippi Mills, Ontario, have an opportunity to explore local wildlife this spring during an upcoming guided nature walk. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust is hosting a “Let’s Go Birding Together” event on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Marble Woodlands.
The event is designed for participants of all ages and experience levels to learn about the bird species currently passing through the region. According to Eastern Ontario Birding, bird migration in the area continues into early June, with shorebirds and flycatchers still travelling through the province during this time of year.
The guided walk will be led by Sheila, the Vice-President of the organization, who has been an avid birder since 2015. Attendees will travel through the nature reserve’s diverse landscape, which includes open fields, meadows, marble outcrops, a cedar swamp, and towering trees such as spruce and bur oak.
Participation in the walk is free, though the organization suggests a minimum donation of $10 per person to help support their ongoing conservation work. Since registration for the event is limited, those interested are encouraged to sign up early through the official event page.
The land trust is a non-profit organization founded in 2003 that currently protects over 4,200 acres of conservation lands across 16 properties, including the site of this upcoming walk.
