We’ll start the night with a laid-back session at Maybee Brewing, where you’ll learn about nighthawks, nightjars, and the important conservation work happening right here in Canada. Then, as the sun goes down, we’ll head out in small groups to listen for these elusive birds as part of the Canadian Nightjar Survey. No experience needed — just curiosity and a sense of adventure!
After the survey, we’ll return to the brewery to share stories, compare notes, and enjoy a well-deserved nightcap.
