Event
Nature, Nature & More Nature (Educational nature hike) - Rouge Park
Sunday, July 5, 2015
Start time: 10:30 AM
Finish time: 4:30 PM
Limited attendance, so early registration is advised.
Details: This is the third in a brand new series of monthly educational nature hikes (outings are also planned for Aug & Sept.). It is a unique opportunity to learn about nature from an experienced naturalist guide in the company of like-minded individuals. Think of it as a private mobile nature class.
Format: On this moderate length hike, we will "walk & wonder", stopping frequently to look at birds, wildflowers, trees & shrubs, mammals, reptiles & amphibians, butterflies, dragonflies, mushrooms, or whatever else the group is interested in. Your guide will be there to help identify things and provide loads of interesting information.
Knowledge level: Suitable for all levels, from beginner to advanced.
Physical requirements: Must be able to comfortably walk up to 6 km over trails with some slopes.
Cancellation Policy: In the event of severe weather conditions, the organizer may cancel the outing, in which case an email will be sent to all registrants by 9:00 PM the evening before. If the event is cancelled, a full refund (including service fees) will be provided.
