December 13, 2020- Christmas Bird Count for Kids

Join Downsview Park staff for our eighth annual Christmas Bird Count for Kids. This kid-friendly, citizen science project will introduce participants to some birding basics and help scientists around the world monitor wild bird populations.

Binoculars from home are welcomed but not required and please remember to dress for an outdoor adventure. For a quick pre-event craft we encourage families to make https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/toilet-paper-roll-binoculars-4164742.

All participants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. This program may take place on rough trails, strollers are not recommended. Please do not bring animals* to Nature Connection programs and remember to dress for the weather.

*Service animals are always welcome.

We will be meeting outside the Discovery Centre (back of 70 Canuck Avenue, next to the greenhouses).

In response to COVID-19 changes to the program have been made to keep participants and staff as safe as possible. Participants and staff will be in small groups, not exceeding provincial regulations. All participants must preregister. We will no longer have a indoor component. We ask all participants to wear masks, and a health check will be needed before attending all programs. Additional information will be sent to all program participants. If you have any questions about our COVID-19 policies, please contact us downsvieweducation@clc.ca
