Terrain: Moderate
Distance: 5km Description
NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE: We are changing this hike to be start in Queenston Heights for 2 reasons. 1) The City of Niagara Falls is promoting Fireman’s Park as a place to view the eclipse. We are concerned that there will be so many people there that our hikers will have a hard time getting to the park and finding parking. Queenston Heights is a much larger park and has more parking. (paid parking – annual parking passes are valid) 2) Our hike leader for Queenston Heights Solar Hike is unable to attend due to personal reasons. I will combine both hikes. Park in Queenston Heights Park, near the Bruce Trail cairn, 14184 Niagara River Parkway, Niagara-on-the-Lake (plus codes: 5W5X+5F)(WHAT3WORDS – ///hauled.unleashed.giggle). Please give yourself plenty of time to get to the park. The solar eclipse will not wait for late comers. Drive safely. The total solar eclipse should be seen in Niagara and should start around 2pm and totality around 3:15pm. The last time a total solar eclipse happened for this region was about 100 years ago. and the next time will be in another 120 years. Glasses will be provided

GARLIC MUSTARD HIKES – Join us & HELP US FILL THE CRIB! We will hike in from Ridge Road – picking the invasive garlic mustard & greater celandine along the trail side along the way – bring a bag to fill (reusable grocery bag or garbage bag work well). Once we hike into the crib location we will dump our bags into the crib and pick garlic mustard in that area for a while & then hike back out. There are lots of spring ephemerals along the way to admire – mayapples, trout lilies, wild ginger and many others – reducing the invasive species will give these natives a chance to thrive! Long sleeves are recommended & don’t forget your work gloves. If parking fills up at the bottom of the hill there is room for a couple of cars to park at the trail head at Ridge Road. We are only hosting two work parties this year at this location so we need as many volunteers as possible! - you must register and submit a completed waiver for this hike

Welcome to my first Pull-Party! We will park on Leonard Crescent in Lincoln (south of Beamsville) to explore the Taylor Property. On the way in we will look at the spring ephemeral flowers and learn to recognize the two invasive plants, garlic mustard and greater celandine, which we will be pulling out on our return. The trail may be muddy so rubber boots are an option. Also bring gardening gloves and a snack to enjoy during the break. This is a beautiful section of the trail so we won’t work too hard! Note that the orange sap if the the greater celandine is irritating to skin and eyes, and both unpalatable and toxic if ingested; And it can stain your clothes. Much to learn about this plant.
