Programs and Upcoming Presentations
All programs are designed to teach participants about nature and are fun, fascinating and engaging. Outdoors, we will encounter wild animals and plants in their natural homes. Some programs can be adapted to take place indoors; they include wildlife artefacts and activities along with some live animals, along with audio-visual presentations. Hover over “programs” on the main menu for a list of school and community programs.

All of our wildlife is fascinating, but some are way out there! Join Dan the Nature Man to discover who swallows with their eyeballs, who pretends to be a cobra, who does the timberdoodle dance, who poops on their legs to cool off, and much more! As with all of his programs, Dan will give tips on where to see these amazing animals and behaviours. During this program, we’ll vote to decide which animal is Ontario’s weirdest!
