Community Pond Dip for World Aquatic Animal Day


*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 04/03/2025
Join education staff from the Humber Arboretum to discover what lives in a pond. All ages are welcome for this free event, but spaces are limited and pre-registration is required.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

The Humber Arboretum has three ponds teeming with life. Our education team will lead you in safely and gently dipping a net into one of the ponds to see what organisms you can find in the water. Everything from aquatic insects to tadpoles and crayfish, you never know what you will find. We will help you identify and learn a little about the creatures you uncover. And don’t worry, none of the pond creatures will be out of the water for long; we will get everyone we pull out of the pond back in quickly, so as not to harm any of the organisms. 

All ages are welcome, but children must be supervised by an adult. This activity is perfect for home-school families or anyone else who is curious about the natural world!

This event will be rain or shine. Please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty and sturdy footwear that may also get a bit wet. All equipment will be provided.
