Meeting Place: 2022-11-12 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Blossom Park Public School
How to find us: Meet at the school parking lot
No pets are allowed on this walk. The total distance is 5 - 6 km on flat land.
As mask wearing has become optional even at indoors, I will not enforce the policy of having to bring a mask and social distancing. I will also not require vaccination to be a per-requisite. Having said that, I will ask the group to honor each individual's choice to wear a mask and/or maintain social distancing during this walk.
We will leave right at 10 AM. Please arrive a few minutes early. We will be entering the trail through the Convoy Road entrance, and then go counter-clockwise through the loop (ie. 43G -> 44D). If you arrive a couple of minutes late you have a good chance to catch up with us.
The walk includes an introduction and welcome exercise, and then we will relax and enjoy our time in nature.
Notes:
1. Time is confirmed unless for inclement weather.
2. No pets for this walk.
3. Facility is available at the trail head.
4. If photos of others are taken make sure that you acquired their permissions before posting them on this page.

9. Description:
The hike is a 5 kilometer loop through natural forests, reclaimed white and red pine forests and marshlands. It should take between 60 and 90 minutes to complete following trails 43 and 44. Starting at the parking lot head north and cross Davidson Road to the beginning of the trail, here you'll see an information panel explaining the history or the forest. Before 1962, most of this area was cleared farmland. After it was purchased by the NCC both red and white pines were planted in most of the clearings and the area was eventually developed into a full grown forest.
