Are you excited about community science? \nOur annual Christmas bird count is coming up at the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree on December 16. \nBring warm clothes\, binoculars\, a camera (if you have one)\, and snacks (we will provide lunch). Please also bring what you feel you need to hike winter trails (snow pants\, hiking poles\, etc.) \nHere’s what Birds Canada has to say about their Christmas Bird Count:  \nStarted in 1900\, the Christmas Bird Count is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation. \n\n\nRVSP HEREPlease RSVP by clicking on the button above.\nIf you have questions please contact us here for more info×Contact Us \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\nYour Name\n\n\nYour Email\n\n\nYour Subject\n\n\nYour Message\n\nYes\, I want to sign up for ARMB's monthly newsletter!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nreCAPTCHA helps prevent automated form spam.\n\nThe submit button will be disabled until you complete the CAPTCHA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information \n \n \n \n Close\n×RSVP Here\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n Event RSVP (Manitoba)\n\n \n Sorry\, this form is not available. \n \n \n \n \n\nClose URL:https://arocha.ca/event/christmas-bird-count-east-braintree-mb-2/ LOCATION:Boreal Ecology Centre\, A Rocha Boreal Ecology Centre\, East Braintree\, Manitoba\, Canada CATEGORIES:Boreal Ecology Centre,Manitoba,MB Conservation,MB Special Events,MB Volunteer Days,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/TIMC4535.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Winnipeg:20231202T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Winnipeg:20231202T150000 DTSTAMP:20260415T231220 CREATED:20230926T202815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231130T165817Z UID:44325-1701511200-1701529200@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Scots Pine Christmas Tree Spectacular (Boreal Ecology Centre\, MB) DESCRIPTION:‘Twas the season for A Rocha\, so spry and so grand\,\nWith a mission for nature\, they had quite the plan.\nIn the heart of Manitoba\, where pines did entwine\,\nThey’d host a tree harvest\, a festive design.\nCome enjoy a hot beverage\, the trails\, a campfire\, and a chance to cut down your own Christmas tree! \nWhy are we doing this?

Are you excited about community science? \nOur annual Christmas bird count is coming up at the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree on December 17. \nBring warm clothes\, binoculars\, a camera (if you have one)\, and snacks (we will provide lunch). Please also bring what you feel you need to hike winter trails (snow pants\, hiking poles\, etc.) \nHere’s what Birds Canada has to say about their Christmas Bird Count:  \nStarted in 1900\, the Christmas Bird Count is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation. \n\n\nRVSP HEREPlease RSVP by clicking on the button above.\nIf you have questions please contact us here for more info×Contact Us \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\nYour Name\n\n\nYour Email\n\n\nYour Subject\n\n\nYour Message\n\nYes\, I want to sign up for ARMB's monthly newsletter!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nreCAPTCHA helps prevent automated form spam.\n\nThe submit button will be disabled until you complete the CAPTCHA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information \n \n \n \n Close\n×RSVP Here\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n Event RSVP (Manitoba)\n\n \n Sorry\, this form is not available. \n \n \n \n \n\nClose URL:https://arocha.ca/event/christmas-bird-count-east-braintree-mb/ LOCATION:Boreal Ecology Centre\, A Rocha Boreal Ecology Centre\, East Braintree\, Manitoba\, Canada CATEGORIES:Boreal Ecology Centre,Manitoba,MB Conservation,MB Special Events,MB Volunteer Days,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/TIMC4535.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Winnipeg:20221028T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Winnipeg:20221029T193000 DTSTAMP:20260415T231226 CREATED:20220922T195625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221011T204043Z UID:40918-1666983600-1667071800@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Silence in the Seasons Retreat (Boreal Ecology Centre\, MB) DESCRIPTION:“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not\, they spin not; and yet I say unto you\, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” – Matthew 6:28 \n \nWith the constant bad news we are bombarded with it is easy to feel overwhelmed\, anxious\, or grieving at the state of the earth.
