Family Nature Walk

Bring the kids on a guided a nature walk (1-hour) to learn about some of the different plants and animals we see in London!

During the hike, we will introduce you to the iNaturalist community science app where you can upload photos of your plant, animal and fungi observations as part of the City Nature Challenge! Come prepared with a camera or smartphone and, if possible, have the iNaturalist app pre-downloaded.

After the hike, you are invited to enter the Museum of Ontario Archaeology (1-hour) where you can explore the exhibits on your own (for free!) and make your own pinch pot (optional, $2 cash).

We will meet at the parking lot of the Museum of Ontario Archaeology, 1600 Attawandaron Rd. London Ontario, N6G 3M6.

This hike is being led by Quinten Wiegersma, a seasonal Park Naturalist for Algonquin Provincial Park and Leeanne Doxtator, the Public & Education Programmer for MOA.

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. This hike will be on uneven terrain and is not wheelchair accessible.

All ages are welcome!
