Description
The public is invited to join us for a short introductory hike from the Evergreen Brickworks as part of our Bruce Trail Day activities. The club will have a booth staffed with volunteers providing information about the Bruce Trail and the Toronto Bruce Trail Club. On Sunday there will be a Hiking 101 Workshop (see the seperate entry on the hike schedule). Our hike will explore the wetlands, woodlands, and natural meadows of the Evergreen Brickworks, ascend into the beautiful Moore Park Ravine and return to the Evergreen Brickworks via the scenic outlook overlooking the Evergreen Brickworks and adacent ravines. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fall colours, the Evergreen farmers market, and learn about the Toronto Bruce Trail Club's year round hiking program and conservation work. Preregistration on the hike schedule is not required - just arrive 15 minutes prior to the hike to sign up with the hike leaders.
