Walks in the Woods with Friends February

Sorry, registration has ended.

Families and folks of all ages are welcomed to join us for a community nature walk! Everyone can get outside for fresh air, exercise and community connection, and share our love of nature! We will start the day with a relaxed opening circle and icebreaker game, offer a ‘nature connection/sensory scavenger hunt,’ and then go for a walk! Groups may stop at times to let the kids play and explore freely in the woods surrounding the trail. Walks usually take about 2 hours. Read below for details on this month’s walk!

Description

Sunday, February 22
1:00pm to 3:00pm
Amisk Trail, La Barriere, Manitoba
Trailhead location

Let’s meet in February at the Amisk Trail! 

This is a lovely, winding trail along the Seine River, through a dense riparian wood.

We will meet at the trailhead near the parking lot beginning at 12:45 pm.
Circle games and a sensory scavenger hunt will be at 1:00 pm, and we will set out on our walk by 1:15 pm.

The whole walk will take about 2 hours, with some stops along the way (for nature appreciation, scavenger hunt activities, and spontaneous play!). 

We will gather at the end of the trail around 2:00 pm for reflections on our journey and a closing circle.
  • Bring water and a snack
  • Dress for the weather - insulated boots with good grip, layers for heat regulation, a waterproof shell, and a moisture wicking base layer are highly recommended.
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Accessibility notes ~ This trail is narrow and usually snow packed in winter. It is mostly flat with some inclines and declines. It is shared use, so we will need to watch out for bicycles! 

Note: This Amisk Trail is in La Barriere MB, just South of Winnipeg, not to be confused with the trail in the Whiteshell of the same name (Amisk means beaver in Nehiyawewin/Cree).
