Fall Nature Hike

Join the LRCA and special guest expert Ryan Wilkie, prov. RPF, of Parks Canada and Dark Forest Photographic for a fall hike through the woods at Hazelwood Lake Conservation Area. We will be on the lookout for the gorgeous fall colours, migratory birds, and mushrooms! We will have binoculars and magnifiers available to borrow. Bring your cameras if you have them!

Note that there WILL be transportation to Hazelwood Lake Conservation Area provided! If you would like to ride with us, meet at the Agora Circle at Lakehead University. The bus will be leaving at 5:45 p.m. SHARP. After the event, the bus will drop participants off back at Lakehead University. Please indicate if you would prefer to take your own vehicle, so we know how many people to expect on the bus. If you are taking your own vehicle, please meet the group at Hazelwood Lake Conservation Area.
