Trout Hollow Saunter – with Robert Burcher.
September 30, 2017 @ 10:00 am
Following in the footsteps of John Muir.
To complement Robert’s superb talk to the club this past April, don’t miss this educational walk, which will reinforce for you the connections that Muir had with our area during his time here a century and a half ago. Held in conjunction with the Meaford Museum.
Saturday September 30, 2017
Starting at 10AM from the Riverside Community Centre, for a plaque unveiling ceremony, then walking with Robert Burcher for historical and natural highlights on a 3km loop trail into Trout Hollow that will bring you back up to the parking lot at the Riverside Centre by 1:00pm.
Suitable sturdy footwear, (maybe a walking stick too), is recommended, plus water and snacks. Washroom facilities will be available.
Everyone Welcome! All ages!

We invite speakers with a wide range of expertise from Grey/Bruce and other parts of the province. These evenings are open to the public. The auditorium is open by 6:30. The meeting gets under way at 7:00, and may include brief announcements by other organizations as well as OSFN club activities, club business, social time, nature sightings and reports.
The club also offers a full schedule of outdoor activities during the year. Through these outings, members learn more about the birds, plants, mammals and geology of this part of Ontario. We also keep a protective eye on our precious natural areas.
