Find birds!
You can borrow a birding kit from the Town of Kentville’s equipment loan program which includes binoculars and a bird guide, and you can also identify birds using the Merlin app on your phone. Identify and log at least 5 different birds using the iNaturalist app (or simply list them on your submission) on each trail.
