Le Nichoir Wild Bird Conservation Centre is pleased to invite you to their Festival of Birds and Nature. This free event is an invitation to celebrate birds, nature and their advocates. The Festival will be held this year on July 20 between 2:30pm and 6:30pm.
The Festival of Birds and Nature is a great opportunity to learn about Le Nichoir, observe the birds under care and follow experienced guides into the Clarke Sydenham nature reserve (adjacent to Le Nichoir) to better understand its diverse flora and fauna.
Many local organizations will be joining in to meet the public and share insights about their work and the projects they are currently working on. Guest organizations include Nature Conservancy Canada, Bird Protection Quebec, Club ornithologique Vaudreuil-Soulanges, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, Canadian Wildlife Federation and more.
Speakers, including Joel Coutu and a representative from the Canadian Wildlife federation, will be presenting on a variety of topics. For younger audiences, there will be storytelling, crafts, face painting and more. If you get hungry, the food truck ‘La Bohème’ will be on site where you can purchase good food, snacks, desserts, and drinks. Meanwhile, Totem Roasters will have a coffee tasting station for you to savor Le Nichoir certified Bird Friendly® coffee.
