Please sign up in advance for this free event. Space is limited to 20 participants.
COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place for this walk.
This walk will take place from 9:30–11:30 am on Sunday, June 20, 2021 at Lockhart Beach/Creek Provincial Park. We will explore the Lockhart Creek trail about 1.5km up the trail and then come back for a 3 km round trip. This forested trail is an excellent example of temperate interior cedar hemlock forests. We will meet at the Lockhart BEACH Provincial Park parking lot. Bring extra layers, snacks, water and your curiosity.
