John Stott Memorial Birding Day 2025 (Manitoba)

May 10

The John Stott memorial birding day is a global one-day event run by A Rocha on May 10, 2025 to commemorate and celebrate A Rocha’s great friend and supporter John Stott’s legacy as a theologian, pastor and birdwatcher in his centenary year. Whether you are a novice or an expert birder, we invite you to join friends old and new to head into the great outdoors and enjoy the birds wherever you are in God’s good creation. For more information on this day check out the John Stott Birding Day website.

This year we will be offering two options for the birding day. Please register below for the option you would like to attend:

  1. Boreal Ecology Centre: recreational birding, outdoor picnic lunch together, and walking the trails.
    Meet at 9 am at the centre (East Braintree, MB)
    Our aim will be to walk as many of the trails on the property as we can, so be sure to come equipped with proper hiking gear. This includes layers, waterproof hiking shoes or boots, hiking poles, and backpack. Binoculars are also an asset – bring a pair if you have them.Please bring your own bag lunch.
  2. Assiniboine Park: Join John Weier and Rich Boyd for a bird walk.
    Meet at 7:30 am at the gates to the English Garden. The walk will be a couple of hours.

Please RSVP so we know how many folks to expect!
