Meeting Place: 2022-11-19 at 09:00 am - 11:00 am
Location: NCC Greenbelt P20
How to find us: Meet at the information board at the parking lot
No pets are allowed on this walk. The total distance is 5 - 6 km on flat land. We will be hiking on the Trail 51 loop. The number of attendees is intentionally limited to allow for a small group hike.
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.
This is a popular trail for families. Lots of birds and fall scenery when we were here on this past weekend (early November).
We will leave right at 9 AM. Please arrive a few minutes early, as parking spots are limited. 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 not 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:
Mer Bleu has been designated an internationally significant wetland under the United Nations’ Ramsar Convention. The trail offers substantial help in identifying various species of plants and animals. These include the sundew, pitcher plant, rare orchids, the spotted turtle, and Fletcher’s dragonfly. The different loops may be completed in any combination, providing a walk as long as 12-km, or as short as 2.8-km. Each loop is numbered as a separate trail.
