Nature Walk
Leader: Don Docherty
Long Sault CA is a wonderful conservation area. It has a great variety of habits and fine trails.
Directions: Exit 401 at Waverly Rd. Travel North on Regional Rd. #57. Turn right at Regional Rd. #20. Turn left at Woodley Rd. The road ends at the parking lot where we will meet and start our walk.
Pay and Display Parking is in effect at a cost of $6 per vehicle/day.
Difficulty: Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. We’ll be walking the trails so, weather permitting, the footing should be fine although there will be ups and downs.

Darlington Generating Station Parkland
Meet at the parking lot to the SE of the pond at Darlington Generating Station. (From the 401 East-bound, take the Courtice Road exit, go east on Megawatt Dr east (changes to Energy Dr W) and south on Park Rd to the first (small) parking lot.)
Darlington is a great place to visit any time of the year. Migration will be in progress. We’ll have to concentrate but there will be warblers and other northern nesters to be found.
Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
Difficulty: Light walking on excellent trails.
Bring water.
