High Park Nature Centre

Have a BEE-utiful day! 🌻🐝🌻 #WorldBeeDay

Join us this Saturday, May 18, at 10AM for a family friendly nature hike! We’ll learn what makes High Park special for so many different animals, quirky mating behaviours, and what it takes to raise healthy younglings. #HighPark #NatureBabies highparknaturecentre.com/event/sp24-nif…

This adorable family of Wood Ducks dropped by to announce that it's bébé season! They also wanted to invite you to High Park to learn about their young families! 🐣🐥🐣 #HighPark #NatureBabies

As the weather continues to warm, we'll see more and more caterpillars crawling about the park. This summer, you can spend your nights documenting them in High Park and contribute to valuable community science thanks to the High Park Caterpillar Survey! highparknaturecentre.com/high-park-cate…

#DidYouKnow? There have been more than 1,100 species of moths and at least 74 species of butterfly recorded in High Park! 🐛🦋🐛 📸: Abbott's Sphinx by Richard Aaron

Challenge: Can you spot an animal in this photo? 🔎🐰🔎 High Park's Savannah might look empty as native plants slowly grow back over spring. But look closer and you'll find they are far from empty. In fact they are important homes for wildlife like this Eastern Cottontail.
