Note: This outing is now full.

Visit the southern portion of the Ward Lake Nature Reserve with Gerry Racey and Cameron Curran Saturday September 30.  We will be walking into Ward Lake following the southern trail (an old logging road) off Sturgeon Bay Road, enjoying the fall colours. Once within the nature reserve we will visit some accessible and interesting ecosystems as well as enjoy a great view. We will also be discussing some of the stewardship challenges.

This is a day-long hike. It is a 2 km walk into the reserve along the south trail and the total amount of walking for the day will be about 7 km with some steep slopes and difficult terrain encountered.  A high level of physical exertion can be expected in some segments of the hike. Sturdy hiking footwear is strongly recommended. Access to the nature reserve is along an old logging road with a packed surface and some wet patches. Other portions of the hike are in areas without a trail and participants will encounter shrub thickets and woody debris. Dress appropriate for weather conditions and terrain. Meet at the Movati Centre Parking lot on Arthur Street for a departure at 9:00 am. Parking on site is very limited and car pooling is strongly recommended.  Please register with Gerry Racey 807-939-1620 (gdracey@tbaytel.net).  Registrations will be limited to 16 participants due to limited parking.
