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/Toronto:20221216T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20221216T200000 DTSTAMP:20260426T141646 CREATED:20221117T161326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221202T163208Z UID:41546-1671213600-1671220800@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Wild Church at Cedar Haven DESCRIPTION:Ever thought that it would make sense to worship God outside—where the beauty of creation is obvious?\nA Rocha Ontario is happy to partner again with two local church leaders\, Nina Schuurman-Drenth and Rebecca Vendetti\, to host Wild Church this December to celebrate the upcoming winter solstice!

The Germinating Conversations initiative nurtures relationships between Manitoba farmers\, harvesters\, and eaters by paying close attention to the art of listening well. \nPARTICIPANTS: Lydia Carpenter\, Jim Cornelius\, Colleen Dyck\, Reg Dyck\, Ryan Turnbull\, and Janelle Wride \nWHEN: Tuesday\, Nov 29\, 7:00PM \nWHERE: Canadian Mennonite University (Great Hall\, North Campus) \nThis event is supported through a partnership between A Rocha Canada\, Canadian Foodgrains Bank\, Canadian Mennonite University\, and Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba.
