NATURE MONCTON FIELD TRIP TO WHITE ROCK RECREATION AREA
Date: Saturday, April 23rd
Time: 10:00
Guide: Gordon Rattray
The Nature Moncton excursion on April 23 will be to the White Rock Recreation Area in Hillsborough. This will be a walk going through mostly forested areas, both coniferous and deciduous, in this protected region. We will be looking at the signs of nature emerging from the winter season. The onus will be on the participants to point out evidence of revival and to assist in naming sightings. Spring revival will be most evident with bud and possible leaf generation of trees and shrubs. Lichens will be very easy to spot on trunks and stems. Depending on how the spring season advances, there could be some surprises.
The walk will be led by Gordon Rattray who has extensive knowledge of the recreation site. The walk will be of moderate difficulty and up to 4KM in length. Footwear is most important as places could be still wet from winter melt. Bring a lunch for a lunch break on the trail.
White Rock Recreation Area is 2 KM up the Golf Club Road in Hillsborough. Golf Club Road is a right turn off route 114 -- partway through Hillsborough. We will meet at the entrance to the Recreation Area at 10:00
