We will descend a series of natural steps down to the Mad River. Then we climb uphill switchbacks to reach the junction with the Ganaraska Trail that stretches from here to Port Hope. The Bruce Trail continues along the Escarpment edge to McKinney’s Hill and its superb view to the east. The trail passes Freedom Rock and the Nottawasaga Bluffs Lookout. Some white cedar trees in this park are well over 1,000 years old. We will end the day’s hike at km 21.9, and then head for Shelburne for refreshments before our return to Toronto.

    Description

    CANCELLED DUE TO LOW REGISTRATION

    Sometimes hikers who are focusing on getting from A to B may not take the time to appreciate the abundance of living things to be found along the trail.

    This hike aims to address that! We’ll break into smaller groups, each with a hike leader and a nature expert. We’ll focus on stopping regularly to look and listen. Birds, wildflowers, ferns, trees and fungi will all be observed and identified. Join us as we spend the day exploring the Bruce Trail and side trails near Georgetown.

    Have you earned your Naturalist badge? This will be a great opportunity to “collect” the requirements!

    Bring water, snack and lunch, sunscreen, insect repellent, and your camera. Please wear sturdy boots or hiking shoes.

    If you are interested in documenting what you see, we’ll share our knowledge of these phone apps: iNaturalist, e-Bird and Merlin. Please download them before you leave home.

    This outing is brought to you by the TBTC Biodiversity Team.
