If you want to combine Mother’s Day with Mother Nature, Conservation Halton has several special events at its parks this weekend for residents of Milton, Burlington, Oakville and Halton Hills.
“Mom deserves a celebration as special and unique as they are,” said a spokesperson for the organization.
“Conservation Halton is proud to offer a number of ways to celebrate the mother figure in your life with events and programs set in the beauty of our parks.”
If Mom’s perfect day includes being outdoors, treat her to Mother’s Day with Mother, Nature on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12.
Conservation Halton Parks provide plenty of places where families of all kinds can celebrate Mom surrounded by springtime scenery.

Celebrate your queen bee with this very unique Candle Making Workshop. Join the resident beekeeper to chat all things honeybees and make your own dipped beeswax candle to take home. After you’re finished, take a walk to the bee yard to see the bees in the observation hive. The event runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the evaporator room and there is a cost of $10 per person, in addition to park entry.
Crawford Lake Conservation Area
The Wildflower Walk is an experience as beautiful and interesting as your dear mom. You will be able to explore the woods at Crawford Lake in search of stunning spring flora, from the earliest hepatica blooms, through trilliums and trout lilies, to the final blossoms of wild columbine. The spring season brings diversity aplenty until the trees leaf out and the flowers are done for another year. Your guide will share the stories and incredible adaptations of these amazing blooms. The event runs from 10 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 3 p.m. and the cost is $10 per person on top of the park entry.
Even if you don’t want to sign up for one of the events, any of Conservation Halton’s parks are perfect if you just want to take a hike or pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the views.
