Re-Occurring Events
Every Fall WRTBWA hosts an annual general meeting (AGM) where we go over the events of the past year, including that year's projects, financial information and special guest speakers.
Other Events
In addition to our consistent events, we try to host as many educational events as possible with the goal of educating the public about the watershed, the problems experienced within the watershed and what we do as a watershed group.
Birds of Glenaladale
In 2023, 2024 and 2025 WRTBWA in collaboration with the Glenaladale Heritage Trust hosted guided bird-watching walks on the Glenaladale House property. The walks were led by ornithologist, Dr. Kathy Martin who showed attendees where birds nest, the types of birds found in the area and pointed out the behaviour of the birds being observed.
Lady's Slipper Hike
Each year, in partnership with the City of Charlottetown, WRTBWA has hosted a walk through the Winter River hiking trail to show off the beautiful Lady's Slipper flowers that bloom along the trails. Throughout the walk, staff share information about other native plants and answer questions about past and ongoing projects.
Tree Planting
Many years WRTBWA has hosted tree planting events either directed towards children or ones open to the general public. These events aim to teach people how to properly plant trees and to build up our damaged Acadian-Wabanaki forest.
