Field Trips

Are you planning a visit to Wye Marsh?

Our team of enthusiastic Naturalists are excited to share their knowledge and appreciation for the natural world, environmental stewardship, and the many benefits associated with participating in physical activities out-of-doors. Email us at education@wyemarsh.com to schedule a call to plan your visit!

What makes us UNIQUE:

  • Our programming compliments classroom or home based learning with outdoor experiential lessons, and provides participants with opportunities to interact with, develop caring and concern for, and take action in the places where they live, study, and play.
  • Our Outdoor Educators (Naturalists) provide connections between the Ontario education curriculum and the world around us, allowing participants to directly observe impacts and issues by exposing them to the many points of view that must be considered in making choices to preserve the health of the natural environment.
  • We believe that learning while having fun encourages immediate and long term involvement in conservation and environmental stewardship.
  • Our unique setting - National & Provincial Wildlife Area, Important Birding Area, provincially significant wetland, designated as an area of natural and scientific interest, home to Trumpeter swans (Provincially rare bird), species at risk, productive & biodiverse ecosystem - provides endless opportunities to make unique connections.
  • Facilities and trails are accessible to all physical levels.

Please Note:

The Bird of Prey demonstration offers an up-close experience with some of our Raptor Ambassadors, where we’ll discuss their habitat, adaptations, diet, and reasons for living in captivity. Please note that touching the raptors is not permitted in order to ensure the comfort and safety of the birds. The demonstration will feature one or more raptors perched on a staff member’s glove. The birds will remain stationary and will not be flying.

We cannot guarantee the involvement of a specific raptor, as many of our ambassadors have pre-existing health conditions, and individual personalities may vary, affecting safe and enjoyable handling for everyone involved.

Please dress comfortably and wear weather-appropriate outerwear, as this is an outdoor program. The demonstration will take place rain or shine, but it may be canceled in the event of high winds, lightning, extreme heat (over 34°C), or poor air quality.
