Description
Postponed as per guest leader. Join Logan Mercier, Conservation Halton, Landowner Outreach & Restoration Team member for an informative tour of Courtcliffe Park - a City of Hamilton park that was once farmland then a trailer park, and now a public park. More information, including an interactive story map is available at https://www.conservationhalton.ca/restoration/courtcliffe-park-restoration/ Much as been done to restore Mountsberg Creek and Bronte Creek back to cold water creeks suitable for species like Brook Trout. As an education walk there will be several stops where Logan will explain the restoration processes that have taken place over the years to restore this park. There will be lots of opportunities for questions. *Note there are no facilities. Closest public restroom is the Tim Hortons at the Corner of Carlisle Road and Highway 6. Bring snacks, water, bug repellent and personal first aid kit. Hike boots recommended. Note ticks are still active. More information on ticks https://conservationhamilton.ca/ticks-and-lyme-disease/ Registration is not required but I would appreciate an email or text with your name saying you are coming. Please arrive before at 12:15 pm so we can get started on our walk promptly at 12:30 pm. You will need to sign a waiver on arrival and have contact information. Bring binoculars if you have them because this is a great birding area. Thank you!Bron brontreg@cogeco.ca text 905-334-4013
