Our first May ElderPride event will be our annual birdwatching walk for both beginners and seasoned birders! We are excited to be going birding for the third year in a row, led by a seasoned guide from the Nashwaak Watershed Association, Adam!
We will meet in the Marysville Heritage Centre parking lot and then take a leisurely stroll along the Gibson Trail.
No experience is required. The total length of the walk will be 2 km on flat, gravel and dirt terrain (details below). The pace will be leisurely, as we will stop regularly to observe and learn about birds!

– Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear that is appropriate for walking a gravel/dirt path.
– Consider wearing a hat.
– Wear sunscreen and bug spray. We will have some on hand as well.
