Fall nature hike 2013

On October 21, 2013 members of the LMSG met at Barrie Elliot’s property for a fall hike.  Despite some rain (and even hail!), everyone had fun learning more about the interesting plants and animals that can be found in the Mailtand River Valley.  Highlights of the walk included a seeing healthy butternut tree (endangered in Ontario), catching sight of a deer, a beautiful view of the Maitland River, a Blue Beech tree (rare to the area) and of course some delicious treats.

Hikers stand under a Blue Beech tree - a rare sight in this area.
