Take a natural and human history eco-tour of excellence! A 1- to 1.5-hour walking tour that will take you through time from the days of our early settlers to the Tantramar Marshes of today. Discover the history of Tantramar and of the Mi'kmaq and Acadian settlements in our area, the Acadian dyking system, the importance of our agricultural history, and the methods used to restore marsh areas to wildlife habitats.

All participants are equipped with light-weight binoculars. You will learn to identify the species of waterfowl, birds and plants that inhabit the park. This wonderful tour features many hands-on activities like the Tree Age Calculator activity where you learn to calculate a tree's age with a hug!
