What Makes a Wye Marsh Field Trip Unique

Curriculum-Aligned Outdoor Learning
Our programs connect directly to the Ontario curriculum, helping students see how classroom concepts apply in the real world—while deepening their understanding through observation and exploration.
Meaningful Environmental Connections
We go beyond facts and figures. Our experiences foster empathy, care, and personal responsibility for the places we live, study, and play.
A Truly Special Setting
Wye Marsh is a National and Provincial Wildlife Area, an Important Bird Area, and a provincially significant wetland. It’s home to a thriving ecosystem, including Trumpeter Swans and many species at risk.
Accessible for All
Our facilities and trails are designed to accommodate a wide range of physical abilities, making sure everyone can participate comfortably.
Learning Through Fun
We believe that when students have fun, they remember more. Our programs build knowledge and lasting connections to the environment.

Birds of Prey Demonstration

Get up close (but not too close!) with some of our incredible Raptor Ambassadors. During this session, students will learn about their adaptations, diets, habitats, and the reasons some live in human care.

Birds will be perched on a staff member’s glove for observation.
Raptors will remain stationary—no flying will occur.
For the safety and comfort of the birds, no touching is permitted.
Specific birds may vary based on health and temperament.

Weather & What to Wear

Programs run rain or shine. Please dress in comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing.

In cases of high winds, lightning, extreme heat (above 34°C), or poor air quality, certain activities—such as the bird demonstration—may be modified or cancelled for safety.
