Description
This is a hike through 29 acres adjacent to Loree Forest, generously donated by John and Liz McCullam, long time members and continuing volunteers, of the Beaver Valley Club. This will be a treat as John and Liz take us on a tour of the property they have lovingly managed for years. We will also be hiking through parts of Loree Forest itself.
On winter hikes we may encounter bare ground, light snow, deep snow, or ice. Please bring snowshoes and icers and wear appropriate clothing for the weather plus water and a snack.
Guidelines
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
- Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience. - Always carry I.D. and your health card.
- Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
- Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
- Bring your own first aid kit.
- Please leave dogs at home.
