Hillman Marsh Conservation Area

Discover your next unforgettable educational adventure at Hillman Marsh Conservation Area, which comes alive each spring as thousands of migrating birds make this 2,000-hectare wetland their stopover. Students can hike the boardwalk, explore trails, and discover tallgrass prairie and the shorebird habitat, unique in North America. Curriculum-linked programs developed by Ontario Certified Teachers include Wetlands & Lifecycles, Energy in the Environment, and Habitats & Communities. Inside the Nature Centre, dioramas, multilingual exhibits, and engaging audio bring the marsh to life. Hands-on activities with binoculars, dipnet tables, and microscopes provide unforgettable, interactive learning. With extension activities available for educators, Hillman Marsh is an inspiring way to connect students with nature in remarkable ways.
