Upcoming Events – Nature, Connection & Community

Birds & Bevvies – Friday, June 6 at 10:00 AM

Get outside and enjoy the beauty of late spring with a relaxed, guided nature walk through Warbler Woods ESA, followed by optional bevvies at Backroads Brews + Shoes in West 5.
Led by Jeff Lee (WBU Store Manager & Biologist) and Leigh Shand (Naturalist & Wellness Coach), this slow-to-moderate hike includes frequent stops to interpret local birds, trees, native plants, mammals, and the importance of conservation.
Please note: The trail is hilly and uneven in spots. Supportive footwear and trekking poles are recommended.
After the walk, we’ll head to Backroads for coffee, tea, craft beer, or a snack—beverages are at your own cost, but the conversation is priceless.
Free event – registration required! Email [email protected] or call the store at 519-657-0745 to reserve your spot.
