Description

In every landscape along the Bruce Trail, we see wildlife and plants that are beautiful and ecologically important. In late spring and early summer, we find abundant wildflowers, mushrooms, and shrubs in the meadows and forests of the Niagara Escarpment. It is a wonderful time for butterflies. Come with us to learn about them. Come join us as we hike on the Bruce Trail and side trails near Georgetown. We’ll break into smaller groups, each with a hike leader and a local guide/expert, and stop regularly to listen to birds and admire flowers. Bring water, snack and lunch, sunscreen, insect repellent, and your camera.

School Bus transportation will be provided at the special rate of $10.00 (to be prepaid online by credit card upon registration). The TBTC Board has reduced the usual fares for this bus hike in order to broaden the appeal for hiking to newcomers. We encourage those who are not currently members of the BTC to come join us on this hike to learn about the Niagara Escarpment.
