Join Birds Canada and the Westman Naturalists on a guided walk around the wetlands of the Riverbank Discovery Centre in Brandon, Manitoba! This walk is the field component of the MarshWatch webinar series, but all are welcome.

Timing: Saturday, June 22nd 8am – 12pm (find us on the trail if you arrive later!) – rain or shine unless severe weather looms. The trail we plan to walk should take 2 hours, and depending on timing and interest we may also check out the ponds to the west of the Discovery Centre.
