Description

Jiksɨtmek Kejimukujik — We listen to Kejimkujik

This hike is for the birds — and more! Join a Parks Canada interpreter for a slow walk through the mature forest of the Peter Point Trail to immerse yourself in the sounds of the Mi’kmaw landscape.

On this hike we will get acquainted with some of the more insistent noise-makers (birds and other animals), learn a bit about their lives and hear indigenous stories that illustrate their place in the world.
