About this Event

Let's meet at the picnic shelter in Grove #2 to start the walk. Grove #2 is reached by driving to the end of the road after entering the woods from Dundee Rd.

Lots of birds and animals make their home here. White heron feed on fish from the river. The walk will be on unpaved stone paths. It will be at a nature walk pace allowing time to stop and look at plants, animals and birds. Binoculars and cameras are recommended for those that want to bring them.

Please dress weather appropriate and bring water for hydration. Sun and insect protection are recommended as well.

Walkers participate at their own risk.
