    Description

    Join BTC ecologist Mara McHaffie and members of the TBTC Biodiversity Team on a leisurely walk along the main trail and some side trails, listening and watching for birds returning from their southern wintering grounds. You need not be a bird expert – we welcome beginning birders! This area features a mix of open areas, thickets, and forest, so we anticipate encountering a good variety of species. The BTC’s protected natural areas, such as the one we will visit, aim to preserve the Escarpment’s unique biodiversity and provide nature-based solutions to addressing climate change.

    During the hike, we will discuss how you can use apps like iNaturalist, Merlin Bird ID and eBird to enhance your birding experience. If you haven’t done so already, please download these apps ahead of time, as cell service can be spotty at this location.

    You may also want to record what you see as you earn points towards the TBTC Naturalist badge.

    Along with your curiosity, please bring water and snacks/lunch. End time and distance we will travel are estimates, depending on weather, trail conditions and what we observe!Note that due to the slow pace and frequent stops, you may want to dress more warmly than you would for a faster-paced hike.

    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.
