Description
Come out and explore Sydenham Bruce Trail Club’s newest side trail. This is an easy snowshoe on flat terrain. Great for beginners and families. There is a beautiful, huge cottonwood tree on the property. Fun fact - Cottonwoods are the fastest growing trees in North America and can grow as much as 6’ per year. In spring the female cottonwood trees produce a cottony substance that helps with seed dispersal. We will also visit a waterfall.
If you don’t have snowshoes, they can be borrowed for free from the Owen Sound library. If you are unable to register, please call or text Maureen at 647-918-4180.
