Description
Join tree enthusiast and Inglis Falls Arboretum volunteer Nan Brown and Carol Graham-Mullin for this leisurely Share and Learn hike at the Inglis Falls Arboretum near Owen Sound. Nan will guide us in identifying and learning about amazing trees, shrubs and woody vines of the Bruce Trail as we stroll through the arboretum and adjoining forest. Please bring your curiosity and cameras !
We will begin at the Inglis Falls Arboretum on the trail in the section that features trees and shrubs that are native to Grey and Bruce Counties. Then we'll stretch out our legs on the Bruce trail to practise our identification skills. After we'll head back to the arboretum to check out the Trees of the World for a cool down stroll through an area more typical of the Carolinian forest found at the southern extent of the Bruce Trail.
