Celebrate spring during our annual Nature Fest! This FREE and fun-filled festival features various family and BioBlitz (science investigations) activities at Merry Lea.

All ages are welcome to participate in canoeing and campfires Friday evening. Stick around after dark Friday evening to discover some of the insects active at night using light-lures & blacklights. On Saturday, there will be two different tracks that participants may engage in: family-oriented activities and BioBlitz (science investigations) activities.

Family activities include canoeing, guided hikes, nature crafts, flower seed starting, DIY birdhouses and more. BioBlitz activities could include animal & plant identification, dipping for macroinvertebrates and more. Drop in for just some of these activities or join us for all of them!
