Festival of the Wild Child

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) is hosting a day of woodland fun, a fantastic opportunity for families to participate in nature-inspired Scavenger Hunts.

This year’s theme, “See Nature Differently,” invites children and their families to explore the natural world through fresh eyes — whether that’s as an artist, a biologist, a beaver, or simply as a curious kid. Nature means something different to everyone, and there are countless ways to experience and care for it. We’re here to celebrate them all.

Expect a mix of returning favourites — like the Storybook Tent, Magical Fairies, and Pond Life — along with some exciting new activities in the works. As always, local experts will be on hand to guide you along the trails and lead hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and joy.
