next stop quinsam river

Our next walk is happening this Saturday, May 30th at the Quinsam River Trail at 1 pm.  Access the trailhead off Quinsam Road, just past the bridge.  We will hike along the river to the Quinsam Fish Hatchery.  

This is beautifully green and mossy damp forest trail with lots to see.  I can't wait to see how things have changed since my family last explored its wonders.  Everyone welcome.

See you on the trails!

spring walks in full swing


Spring is definitely in full swing on the island.  The temperature is warming up and everywhere you look it is alive with green.  The spring walking series is getting into full swing too.  Our second walk is happening this Saturday, May 23rd at Oyster River Nature Park.

This walk is a family favourite.  It winds through the forest, along the river and emerges onto the beach.  The trail is gentle enough to be kid-friendly, while still having plenty to keep the little ones engaged.  The beach itself is a great place to take a break and have some unstructured play time and a snack.

The weather is supposed to be nice and the company even nicer, so you won't want to miss out on this one.  Meet us at the trailhead next to the Fisherman's Pub in Oyster River at 1 pm.  Everyone welcome.

See you on the trails!

spring walks delayed

Due to concerns around swine-flu we have decided to postpone the spring walk series.  This means the walk at Willow Point Conservation Area on Saturday will be cancelled.  We will plan on starting things up again soon, once the risk of exposure to the virus has passed.  Check out the blog to stay posted on further developments.
