Description
We’ll take a slower pace to allow time to observe and identify the ferns, fungi, birds, dragonflies, etc. that we encounter along the trail. Using the iNaturalist app, participants will be encouraged to take photos with their smartphones and contribute observations to the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s iNaturalist Project. Of course anyone who simply wants to take in the wonders of nature while we walk is also welcome to come along! Note: Limit of 10 hikers, and registration is mandatory.
