What’s the Buzz about Bees: Sunday, January 10th, from 2:00-3:30pm. Join Tony Lulek, President of the Norfolk County Beekeepers’ Association, for an informative talk on beekeeping. Tony will share some of his extensive knowledge about these fascinating insects, as well as give an overview of the beekeeping school that his organization conducts.

Give A Hoot? Get Up Early! It’s Time to Search for Owls: Sunday, January 31st, from 5:30-7:30am. This is the time of the year when owls really begin to get vocal. Just prior to sunrise is the best time to hear and sometimes find owls. We are going to explore the sanctuary grounds in search of great horned, barred, and the eastern screech. After our search, we will head down to the boardwalk to watch the sunrise before returning to the nature center for a warm cup of hot chocolate.

Fee: $15m/$18nm per person
