Join us for a slow walk in the woods to observe and identify the impressive variety of trees in this area, without the benefit of examining their leaves! The distinctions found in twigs, buds and bark are just some of the clues we will be seeking, with the assistance of our guide, Adam Brylowski, an ecologist on staff at the BTC.
Please dress for the weather, and along with your curiosity, I suggest a hot drink, water and lunch or snack. End time and distance we’ll travel are estimates, depending on weather snd trail conditions.
This hike is brought to you by the TBTC’s Biodiversity Team. We endeavour to promote the critical role we can all play in protecting and conserving the Niagara Escarpment.
