Connect with Nature: Explore the Natural World on March Break

It’s the perfect time of year to spend more time outdoors: winter sport enthusiasts can still get in a few more excursions to skate, ski or slide this season, while signs of spring may be popping up as well (more on this in two weeks!). With students out of class for March Break this month, why not set aside a day to clear your head and connect with nature?

Your local naturalist club or a nearby wildlife conservation area may have special activities planned throughout the March Break. Many libraries, museums, zoos and community centres also offer programs during this month that will let you get outside and explore. Some of these activities require registration or have limited availability, so be sure to call ahead and check.

If you’d rather do your own thing, there’s still time for a winter wildlife walk — make sure to adjust for the late-winter conditions by adding some waterproof layers if it’s a bit soggy out. It’s also a great opportunity to check on your gear for your favourite spring and summer activities to make sure that everything’s ready to go as soon as nicer weather arrives.

What will you be doing this March Break to connect with nature? Let us know in the comments below.
