Description
Join BTC ecologist Lyndsey Wilkerson and members of the Toronto Bruce Trail Club's Biodiversity Team on a leisurely hike to observe and learn about the wetlands along the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail. The new routing of the Main Trail north of Limehouse until it reaches Sixth Line passes over boardwalks through marsh and swamp that were, until recently, remote and not easily reachable. Such wetlands provide habitat for 70% of our province's at-risk species. Bring your cameras and the iNaturalist app on your phone. These will enable you to record what we are going to see. Lyndsey will also be showing us the wetlands Seed Orchard that the BTC is using to help restore wetlands plant species on its lands along this part of the Niagara Escarpment. Bring your lunch, water and snacks. This hike will go rain or shine.
