Cardboard Sled Building Workshop
Our 7th annual cardboard sled race is fast approaching!
Join Nature Up North for a cardboard sled-building workshop at the Wachtmeister Field Station. At this workshop, you will learn how to build your own cardboard sled for the race, and we'll have all the materials you'll need! Cardboard, duct tape, plastic bags, glue, and paint are all allowed materials. If you have a box, a color, or plastic bags you want to use, you can bring those with you too.

Tracking Tracks in Heritage Park
Join Dan French on Sunday, Feb. 16th at 10am in the heart of Canton for a walk around Heritage Park on a hunt for animal tracks. Learn the basics of animal track identification and what we would expect to find on an island in the middle of the Grasse River.
The parking lot is not plowed in the winter, so park in the lots next to Main Street if you'd like to come! Traction devices are heavily recommended! The trail is packed and frozen from foot traffic.
