Saturday May 27: Trail Clipping New Date
Postponed Trail Clipping that was scheduled for Tuesday May 9th. We will plan to do it on Saturday morning May 27 and combine it with the shoreline cleanup.
Due to the excessive wet in the wet land area we decided to postpone the Trail Clipping that was scheduled for Tuesday May 9th. We will plan to do it on Saturday morning May 27 and combine it with the shoreline cleanup.
Meet us at 9:30am at the first parking lot after the Hibou Entrance when you are coming from Owen Sound.
Bring work gloves and clippers if you have them, water, hat, sun screen and “bug stuff” may be helpful too. It would be helpful if you let us know if you are coming. But just showing up is fine too. Hopefully the sun will be shining.
