Description
This is Hike #1 of a 6 hike series to earn the Beaver Valley End to End Apple badge. We will hike rain or shine (unless there is thunder & lightning). Depending on the winter we have, be prepared during the early spring for possible snow, mud, ice and high water in some creeks. Ensure you bring appropriate gear for a variety of conditions, as well as lunch, snacks and water. Please read the participant guidelines below.
Participant Guidelines
- All kms mentioned are according to maps in Edition 29 of The Bruce Trail Reference.

Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.

Description
How can you tell which plant is what in the winter? Hoping to get into the forest before it leafs out, we will be looking at bark, bud arrangements on twigs, as well as just where the plant is in the ecosystem which says a lot about narrowing down the species at any time of year. We will be identifying characteristics of some wild native carolinian deciduous forest trees and shrubs. Our leader Claire, is a local ecosystem restorationist, landscape designer, community greening consultant, and native plant nursery owner. This hike is slow (yes it will be a slower hike as botanists often crawl instead of walk along the Bruce Trail). The hike will go from Sideroad 7A to Bill's Creek and back. The creek is part of the Wodehouse Karst. After meandering underground for some time, it gushes out of the cliff face on this hike, down the Beaver Valley slope-- a dramatic site especially during spring thaw - a treat for landform enthusiasts to see.

Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.

- Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated).
- For spring and summer hikes bring sunscreen and insect repellent.
- Please leave dogs at home.
