Members and friends will be treated to an energetic hike with highly eclectic habitat features highlighted by a provincially significant wetland and Lake Superior shoreline.

The Caldwell Lake Nature Reserve (over 100 acres) includes mature second growth black spruce, cedar and white pine forests. Other habitats include a floating bog mat, a beaver pond and meadow, Lake Superior shoreline, and cliffs. Sixteen species of orchids grow around Caldwell lake, many of them in large numbers. Arctic alpine disjunct plants are found along the Lake Superior shore.

Join us (Monika Holenstein, Bryan Loop and Dr. Rob Foster) for a hike through the TBFN Terrace Bay Nature Reserve! One of TBFN's largest reserves, the Terrace Bay reserve protects over 1,200 acres of pristine Lake Superior shoreline. The Casque Isles Trail crosses the property. We will be hiking the 6-kilometre Lyda Bay section that includes raised cobble beaches, Pukaskwa Pits, spectacular look outs and beautiful rocky coves along Lake Superior. Leaving from the Hydro Bay Road and finishing at the Terrace Bay Beach, this hike covers some challenging sections of large cobble beaches and tricky rocky sections, as well as a ladder to get up one cliff area. We plan to hike from 10 am until 4 pm, with lots of stops to enjoy the views and look for the plants and animals that call this unique area home.
