Join trip leaders Colin Blyth & Gillian Richards in a quest to explore lesser-known trails on the East side of Riding Mountain National Park. This area is a transition between boreal and deciduous forest and is home to many interesting plants, insects and birds, hopefully including indigo bunting. Numbers are limited on this trip, so please sign-up soon by completing the form below.

No experience is needed for this event, just an interest in nature. Be aware that patience may be required as the group will stop frequently. Please bring your binoculars and camera if you have them, they are not essential but come in handy. 

Please be aware that Hwy 19 in RMNP is closed, so the East side of the Park has to be approached via Hwy #5.

Trip Difficulty: This outing will involve walking between 3 and 5km on the RMNP Trails. These can be rough with tree roots, and may be sandy or muddy. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear and bring water & snacks/lunch. Don’t forget insect repellant as both ticks and mosquitos will no doubt join us.

Please complete and submit this short form to register for this event.
