Description

This “there and back” walk will begin by exploring the trail through the meadow of the Humber Heights property, then head through Mathilda’s Way, and the Gosling Forest and Nature Reserve to 5 Sideroad. We’ll then retrace our steps back to the 7th Line. We’ll stop regularly to listen to birds and watch for insects. There should be opportunities to see Bluebirds, Indigo Buntings, Monarch Butterflies, and many other wonders. Bring binoculars and your cellphone, as apps like Merlin, Seek, and iNaturalist can help in identification of flora and fauna along the route.
