Calling all hikers! Join Sydenham Bruce Trail Club members for the Spring Social on May 1st. Visit with friends, get to know new members, enjoy a variety of hikes and even win a sweet prize! Enjoy a 1 km walk to a long view over Georgian Bay, as well as a selection of longer themed hikes. Topics may include tree
identification, communing with nature, photography, and spring wildflowers. We would love to share information on edible wild plants and mushrooms so if you know things, please be willing to teach. Trails may be muddy; be prepared!
This is a wonderful chance to explore a unique property near the Bruce Trail and Bayview Escarpment. Heron Croft Farm is a 100acres of woods, wetlands, old shorelines, escarpments, gardens, and ponds. It functions as a private retreat centre to demonstrate and encourage sustainable ways of living, building, and farming. We will meet in their solar-powered, energy-efficient reception building. Doug will tell us more about the building, plans, and programs. Come for hikes, learning, and of course, great food!
The hikes will be followed by a potluck supper. A non-alcoholic punch will be provided. Please bring fold-up chairs and your beverages of choice. Carpooling is encouraged. Meet at Heron Croft Farm, 9 km north of Hwy 26/Woodford on Sydenham Concession 2 North (fire number 599535), at 3:00 pm on Sunday, May 1st. It is just north of Coffin Ridge Winery. The event will be held in the red building up past the house. For further information on this event, please contact our hosts, Doug and Margot Miller, at 519-371-8251, or email [email protected].
