We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. - George Bernard Shaw

Calling all outdoorsy people!

If you're interested in outdoorsy things and you live in Durham Region then you should really check out the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). Last Friday, I attended a winter birds workshop at Enniskillen Conservation Area. We spent the night learning about all the birds you can attract to your feeder during the colder months and the different kinds of food they like. They had different bird samples, mostly roadkill from the Lynde Shores Conservation Area, so that we could get a closer look at the feather colours and designs. We made a suet feeder, too!

I've attended other events hosted by CLOCA and would really recommend joining their mailing list so that you can be notified of upcoming events. My boyfriend and I took our moms on a mother's day flower walk at Long Sault Conservation Area and were treated to a lovely tea afterwards. The events are free and the staff is great! They also do a lot of work with schools and they are responsible for flood forecasting and land and water conservation. Make sure you check out this untapped resource!
