     Mill River winter Programs 
     
    
   
   
    
     Although the snow is on the ground and skiing is the focus at Mill 
     
     River Provincial Park, there is still a strong interpretive flavour 
     
     to the winter programs offered within the Park. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Dan McAskill conducted a "Feeding and Attracting Winter Birds 
     
     Workshop" which drew a number of interested birders. This program 
     
     is offered annually in Mill River and always proves popular with 
     
     people of all ages. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A miniature bird feeding village has been constructed within the 
     
     Park. This interpretive structure is complete with a church and 
     
     school and is a regular stop for a number of our feathered friends. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Two additional unique programs are being offered in the Park this 
     
     season. "Trek for Tracks" is a program which will involve trekking 
     
     through the park. on snowshoes or skis to examine the ‘various 
     
     signatures left in the snow by various animals that make their home 
     
     in our fields and woodlots. This program is conducted by 
     
     Conservation Officer, Ross Bernard. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A "Taste of Winters Past" is one of the most popular programs held 
     
     at Mill River. This program involves visits to a temporary "Sugar 
     
     Shack" where guests will be treated to Maple Sugar Taffy on snow. 
     
     This traditional favourite is a prelude to a Parks demonstration 
     
     sugar bush and promises a savory mix of nostalgia and excitement 
     
     for people of all ages. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The recreational and interpretive opportunities are numerous at 
     
     Mill River Provincial Park and Islanders are invited to visit this 
     
     all inclusive winter destination located in Woodstock, P.E.I. For
