Want to take a deeper dive into the owls of Ontario? This workshop builds on our classic Owl Prowl programming and offers an extended, more immersive experience. Participants will explore the detailed ecology of Ontario’s owls, including how to identify species by sight and sound, understand their behaviour and habitat needs, and learn practical tips on the whooooo, what, where, when, and how of looking for them.

The program includes a variety of hands-on activities such as dissecting owl pellets, searching for owls during the daytime, and heading out again after dark for a guided night-time owling session. The workshop takes place both indoors and outdoors, for an experience that combines classroom learning with field-based exploration to give participants a well-rounded, in-depth understanding and appreciation of these remarkable birds. *Maximum 20 people.

The land where The Arboretum now grows has been home to plants and animals for thousands of years. It was home to Indigenous peoples long before settlers arrived. We recognize the traditional, ancestral, and treaty lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Mississaugas of the Credit peoples, as well as the Dish with One Spoon covenant covering the Between the Lakes Treaty 3 lands on which the University of Guelph and The Arboretum now sit. We are honoured to work on and care for this land.
