The suburban riverbottom forests of St Norbert possess a special combination of resilience, vulnerability, history and biodiversity. Their winding paths and decades of struggle reflect larger environmental challenges, past and present. From grass fires and lumber harvesting operations to clear-cutting developers and invasive species, these forests continue to survive and contribute to our city's well-being. Join the walk leader to learn more about how humans benefit in body and soul from the forests along the Red and LaSalle Rivers.
