Pace: Leisurely, Medium
Terrain: Difficult, Moderate
Distance: ~5-7 km
Description

Ferns can tell you a lot about the forest habitat. They are considered an “eco-indicator” – telling us about the type, moisture, nutrients and temperature of soil. The type of fern can also tell you about what kind of wildflowers to look for in the same area. Ferns are one of the oldest plants on earth. Did you know they existed at the time of dinosaurs, some growing to over 100 feet tall! While you won’t see ferns that tall, PBTC Trail Ambassador Rhiannon Carruthers will help us learn how to identify ferns on this hike. Ferns identified on this hike will contribute toward the PBTC Fern Badge. If time allows, we will see the Hope Bay Glacial Potholes located here, too. This hike is a hike-stop-talk paced hike over uneven and at times more demanding terrain. Good balance is required.
