Nature, nature & more nature (Educational nature hike) - Rouge Park
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2015
ROUGE PARK (Scarborough, Ont.) - We will be exploring southern portions of the park.
Start time: 10:00 AM
Finish time: 4:00 PM
Attendance: Limited to 12 participants (early registration is advised)
Imagine being able to learn from a professional naturalist in a small group setting. Well now you can!
Details: This is the fifth and final (for this year) in a brand new series of monthly educational nature hikes. It is a unique opportunity to learn about nature from a professional naturalist 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 help you identify what you are seeing 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, while carrying a daypack to transport your lunch & drink (we will be having lunch on the trail).
