Fall Hike with Ontario Nature
Saturday, October 19 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join Ontario Nature for lunch and a fall trail hike at FWR Dickson Wilderness Area in Ayr, Ontario. This beautiful interconnected area of lakes, wetlands, Carolinian forests and fields is located on the edge of Waterloo Region where it meets up with Brant County. These areas provide a variety of suitable habitat for migratory and breeding birds, especially waterfowl and marsh birds. The fall colours will provide a vibrant show.
Local naturalists, Janet Ozaruk and Fraser Gibson, from Waterloo Region Nature will lead the group along this figure-eight trail looking for fall migrants, mushrooms, ferns, and asters. The trail is primarily hard-packed dirt or gravel with one section of boardwalk and includes some hilly terrain and steps. We will split into two groups, with one group selecting a shorter, easier walking route for those with accessibility concerns.
Please register with Ontario Nature for this event, note there are limited spaces available.
