We will walk together on the side trails around the wetlands by Niagara College, and then enjoy light food and drinks as part of the Bruce Trail Day celebration.
This hike is suitable for beginners and folks who want to explore with a leisurely pace on fairly flat terrain. It's perfect for those who want to walk, enjoy nature and the company of others!
This is one of a series of "Welcome Hikes" that invite first time/new hikers to try out the trail, enjoy an organized hike experience and learn more about the Niagara Bruce Trail club.
We especially welcome folks who are joining via the CANOO App.
Children are welcome with a guardian.
Important note: Those hiking for the first time on the Bruce Trail can earn the special "My First Hike" badge by participating in this hike. You can expect to develop a passion for badges after this!
In order to be comfortable on the hike, please:
- wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots
- comfortable clothing, be prepared for weather changes

NBTC FALL NATURE HIKE
Join us for the last hike of this series of four 2023 NBTC Nature Hikes to learn more about the biodiversity along the Niagara Escarpment. We will explore the trails throughout Louth Conservation area which offer beauty in all four seasons. Hikes will be held January, May, August & October – it will be amazing to see all the changes throughout the seasons. Your hike leaders, members of the NBTC Biodiversity Committee, will share their knowledge of the amazing flora & fauna along the trail as well as any biodiversity projects in the works for this year.
Be sure to register in advance as space is limited & the hike will be rescheduled in the event of heavy rains or heavy snow.
Contact Alicia Aitchison, aliciaaitchison1@gmail.com, with any questions.

Description
This work party is to continue with our invasive buckthorn removal at St.Pauls Nature Reserve.
We are hoping to get lots of volunteers out and tackle this area in one work party per year.
Volunteers make a difference - come out & join us!
Invasive buckthorn removal methods vary based on how big the buckthorn is - small plants can be pulled by hand and hung upside down so the roots dry out and die. Medium sized are removed with the help of extractigators - special shovel like tools that make pulling much easier & large buckthorn "trees" must be cut with a chainsaw.
BTC Ecologists as well as certified chain sawyers will be there to help us.
Plan on arriving so we can all walk in together at 10am but it's an easy walk out if anybody wants to leave after a shorter amount of time.
Remember to wear long pants, long sleeves, work gloves, bring lots of water & bring a lunch if you are staying for the duration!
Please register so you will be included in any relevant correspondence.

Description
Attention all pastry chefs and fans of the Great Canadian Baking Show! Why not use your culinary skills to impress our valued landowners?
We are looking for hand held treats (ex. squares, tarts, cookies, shortbreads, brownies) for our annual Landowner Appreciation Celebration. We are asking bakers to bring along some homemade sweets for 6-8 people to enjoy.
The event will feature biodiversity hikes which you can sign up for on the day along with information from the biodiversity committee and BTC land stewardship. NBTC merchandise will be available for purchase at the event. Appetizers catered by Antipastos. Cash bar. Prize draws. Come out and say thank you to our landowners for allowing us to hike across their private properties.
