On this #InternationalDayofForests we are proud to announce that 2020 is our 15th anniversary! We have striven to bring you closer to your urban forest and we plan to continue to do so for many more years. Thank you for your support #NorthGrenville#FergusonForest
Winter is a wonderful time to see what wildlife inhabits our forest by looking at tracks in the snow.
Tip: tracking in the early morning or late afternoon is easier as shadows form and better define the imprints. #FergusonForest

Nature has long been an inspiration to people, evident in our art and literature. This free “Trees in Art” webinar is an opportunity to learn more. https://t.co/GDsrWiYpzf
Always check the weather forecast before a hike! Dress in layers, pack the right supplies and be prepared to enjoy all that nature offers. Visit https://t.co/guMiGVfPgX for local maps and information. #TrailTipTuesday
With the recent high winds, you may notice debris on the trails or damaged trees that could pose a hazard. You can report a trail issue at any time on our website. Community reports help keep the trails clear and safe.

Welcome winter birds to your own backyard when the weather keeps you from the forest. Create your own bark butter feeder by hollowing out spaces in a piece of wood, fill with a suet cake mixed with natural peanut butter and watch them enjoy their treat!

Now that the leaves have fallen, it’s the perfect time to spot cavity and stick nests in the forest, which provides critical habitat. This webinar by @BirdsCanada and the @ontariowoodlot helps identify these nests and the birds who use them #FergusonForest https://t.co/rrTv7zdjRH

It’s a perfect day to enjoy the beauty of nature surrounding us - walk, hike, bike, canoe or kayak in the Ferguson Forest Centre to celebrate the wonderful place where we live and that we share with the wild things who also call it home! #fergusonforest#ngtrails#northgrenville
The diversity of trees in Ferguson Forest make it the perfect habitat for many birds - listen closely, and you can often hear a dozen different birds in the forest in one outing.
This time of year, fledglings are leaving the nest & exploring the world! They have feathers & can hop around, but are still learning to fly. They don't need our help, just some space. Their parents will keep caring for them. Thanks @WildBirdFund for creating this fluffy guide!
