Are you excited about citizen science? \nOur annual Christmas bird count is coming up at the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree on December 30.  \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. \nIf you have questions\, please reach out to Graham Peters directly by emailing graham.peters@arocha.ca .\nEmail to register!×Register here\n ×RSVPClose\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\nClose URL:https://arocha.ca/event/christmas-bird-count-manitoba/ LOCATION:Boreal Ecology Centre\, A Rocha Boreal Ecology Centre\, East Braintree\, Manitoba\, Canada CATEGORIES:Day Camps,Manitoba,Winnipeg ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/IMG_2924.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211221T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20211221T170000 DTSTAMP:20260428T031325 CREATED:20210908T034135Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210908T034135Z UID:36476-1640095200-1640106000@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Restoration Tuesday DESCRIPTION:Join A Rocha’s Brooksdale conservation team for a morning of habitat restoration and enhancement.\nGet your hands dirty planting native trees and shrubs\, removing invasive vegetation (such as Himalayan blackberry or English Ivy) and much more. \nThe team will meet at Brooksdale Environmental Centre (1620 192 St – Surrey\, BC) and will travel to the restoration site from there.

What are the implications for our life in Creation of this great story? \nThe weekly lectionary readings return us again and again to the wild edges. To the wild edges of the Ancient Palestinian landscape\, where John preaches baptism in the River Jordan. To the wild edges of trees cut down and of righteous branches springing up. To the wild edge of a baby born to a teenage mom in a rural outpost of the Roman empire. And to a wild song\, delivered by Mary\, of a great God who brings justice for all creation. \nJoin us for this online pre-Advent workshop on Saturday November 27\, 2021 from 10 am to 2 pm. \nWe will explore these themes in more depth in order to take away some practices you might put into place to live more deeply into God’s call this Advent! \nPhoto: \n“John the Baptist in the Wilderness”\nby Geertgen tot Sint Jans (1460-1490) \nIn partnership with A Rocha Canada and Wild Church Victoria.
