Description
Join us for a leisurely walk through a variety of forested areas and wetlands, on the main trail and the Charles Hildebrandt Side Trail. Together with our plant experts Angelika, Gen and Rose Mary, we will search for native wildflower species that thrive before the trees fully “leaf out”, and discuss their role in the forest ecosystem.
This will be an ideal opportunity to document your sightings for the club’s Biodiversity Naturalist badge.
What to bring:
- water (1 litre minimum), lunch, snacks
- Sun screen, hat
- Insect repellent
- Smart phone, if you plan to use iNaturalist
This hike is brought to you by the TBTC Biodiversity Team. We endeavour to promote the critical role we can all play in protecting and conserving the Niagara Escarpment.
