Mountsberg Conservation Area

Don’t let winter keep you inside! At Mountsberg Conservation Area we invite you to join us on a horse-drawn ride through a winter wonderland. Arrive at a roaring bonfire rosy-cheeked and ready for a tasty marshmallow roast- a perfect way to get outside and enjoy winter with friends and family! Make a day of it by visiting with the park’s resident birds of prey and farm animals, followed by a trip to the play barn and gift shop. A day spent outside in the crisp winter air and everyone will head home ready for a long winter’s nap.

RBG – Speaker Series: Exploring Cootes Paradise Marsh Through Art

Sunday, January 26, 2020 at 2 PM – 3 PM

Cootes Paradise Marsh has been portrayed by artists in many ways since Elizabeth Simcoe made the first known painting of the area in 1796. More than decorative art, the paintings of Cootes Paradise made by subsequent generations are valuable historical documents showing us changes in the landscape.
