Mysteries of the Greenock Swamp – Guided by Shannon Wood
June 12 10 AM – 12 noon (Picnic Lunch afterwards – optional)
Greenock Swamp is the largest forested wetland in Ontario. Part of its attraction is the intrigue and mystery surrounding this 8000-hectare natural area. Shannon Woods, tour guide, will lead us on a walk, unlock some of the mysteries, and talk about the natural heritage.
We will meet at Sobey’s west side parking to carpool at 9:20 AM. Leaving by 9:30 AM prompt.
If you live closer and wish to meet us at Greenock Swamp, please let us know so we do not wait for you in Kincardine.
Wear weather-appropriate clothes – long pants and long sleeves. Prepare for it to be buggy (mosquito season is in the swamp). Spray ahead or bring it along. If you have a netted hat, bring it too. It will be wet in some areas, so wear waterproof boots or sturdy shoes.
Rated: Easy to moderate walking. Walking poles are always helpful.
There is no cost for this event, but a suggested minimum donation of $5 to Shannon’s favourite charity would be appreciated.
You will be required to sign a waiver to participate in this event.
