About this event
Bogs are fascinating and ecologically important habitats, with a ton of cool plants! This is peak orchid season, and we'll find several species in flower along with carnivorous plants and provincially-rare species. You'll need boots (or shoes you don't mind getting wet) and bug spray for this event. Dress for the weather, as we'll go rain or shine. Please note that tickets are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled due to safety (eg. extreme heat, lightning).
We'll meet at 10:00 am in the parking lot where the Confederation Trail crosses the Ellerslie Road (Route 133). You'll find the parking lot about 5km along the Ellerslie Road from Route 2, almost directly across from the Post Office. From here, we'll walk 1.5km along the Confederation Trail to the access point for Ellerslie Bog.
