DESCRIPTION:The John Stott memorial birding day is a global one-day event run by A Rocha on May 13\, 2023 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. \nA Rocha Manitoba will be heading out to the Boreal Ecology Centre for the day to do some recreational birding\, have an outdoor picnic lunch together\, and walk the trails.  \nWhen: May 13\, 2023 – 9 am – 5 pm (although you are welcome to come earlier!)\nWhere: Boreal Ecology Centre (East Braintree\, MB) \nOur 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. \nPlease bring your own bag lunch. Snacks will be provided. \nPlease RSVP so we know how many folks to expect! \nRSVP×RSVP\n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\n\n    \n            \n          RSVP Here\n\n          \n          Sorry\, this form is not available.          \n        \n          \n       \n \n[/modal]Close

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count (East Braintree\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Do you love birding? 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\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    \n            \n          Event RSVP (Manitoba)\n\n          \n          Sorry\, this form is not available.          \n        \n          \n       \n \n\nClose

DESCRIPTION:WHAT and WHY: As a follow up to a baseline study conducted by CMU\, we want to continue to monitor the status of the river. By maintaining a stream (pun absolutely intended) of knowledge about the river\, we can learn about the health of the system and the biodiversity it supports. Maintaining an awareness of the Boggy River can also lead us to asking new questions and open new opportunities for research\, learning\, and conservation.\nWHO: You!

Skills and knowledge are an asset\, but all are welcome!\nWHERE: The Boreal Ecology Centre\, 81025 Boggy River Rd.\, East Braintree\, MB\nWHEN: Friday\, September 9 (arrive by 8:30 AM) to Saturday\, September 10 (leave by 7 PM)\nWHAT TO BRING:\n\nBring snacks – we will provide meals\, but extra snacks are always a good idea.\nBring your own bedding – accommodations are inside the lodge\, but we do not provide bedding.\nBring a PFD or life jacket (Let us know if you do not have access to one – we have a few we can share)\nIf you have monitoring equipment you would like to bring or offer\, please get in touch. \n\n\nRSVP: Fill out the form below to register.

DESCRIPTION:WHO: You! We’re looking for willing volunteers who care about creation and nature conservation. Skills and knowledge are an asset\, but all are welcome!\nWHAT: Graham (Conservation Science Coordinator) will be leading the group in a forest biodiversity monitoring day. We have several permanent monitoring sites set up and would like to record plant biodiversity for them. We will be starting from 1×1m quadrats and expanding outwards recording samples of herbs\, shrubs\, and then more detailed stem mapping of trees.\nExperience identifying Manitoba plants is an asset but not required to participate.\n \nThis work is meant to accomplish a couple of things:\n1. Set a baseline understanding of the biodiversity of the forest\n2. Determine the health of the forest (do we see lots of thriving species or less so)\n3. Observe how the forest is changing\, understanding the succession is part of a healthy forest we want to see how the forest is growing and changing\n\n\n\nWHERE: The Boreal Ecology Centre\, 81025 Boggy River Rd.\, East Braintree\, MB\nWHEN: Saturday\, August 6\, 2022\, arriving between 9 and 10 AM\, departing between 3 and 5 PM\nWHAT TO BRING:\n\nEssentials: bag lunch (including snacks\, water bottle etc.)\, work boots and gloves\, good clothes for walking and being outdoors\, bug spray and sunscreen\, binoculars\n\n\nRSVP: Fill out the form below to register.
