Description
Join us for a moderately paced walk along the Humber River Recreational Trail in the heart of Etobicoke, a walk in the woods, from Weston to Jane and Bloor St. We will visit our urban forests along the route at James Gardens, traverse a sandy ridge at Lambton Park, commune with mature Sugar Maples and Red Oaks in Magwood Park, and gaze up at the trees that line Baby Point Road. Follow in the footsteps of First Nations people, close to the Toronto Carrying Place Trail. There will be several hills to climb on this nature walk – with stops to appreciate native grasses and all the trees. Wear sturdy shoes or hiking boots.
Bring at least 2 liters of water, lunch, bug spray and sunscreen.
Opportunity for a refreshment stop after in Bloor West Village (Jane & Bloor St).
Drop out at anytime.
