Iroquoia BTC Naturalist Hike Series- Grimsby Wetlands

Please join BTC hike leader, Ruth Moffatt, and well-known Hamilton Naturalists’ Club, Bruce McKenzie, for a tour of the award-winning Grimsby Wetlands. Bruce will describe the history of this 25 year old wetland from its beginnings as a wastewater treatment area to its notoriety for birding, now. A cinnamon teal duck was spotted here a couple of years ago and birders from all over descended into the area. Bruce was quoted as saying, “I can’t go into the property and not find someone enjoying the solitude or the nature.” Indeed, it is a peaceful oasis.

Please bring water and snacks. It is recommended that everyone wear long pants that are tucked into socks, long sleeves as well as a wide brimmed hats. Sunscreen and bug spray.

This is a leisurely walk and will be filled with highlights of this important wetland. Everyone must be registered to participate. Members and non-members are welcome.

The hike will be between 2 and 3 kms long and the path is mostly flat.
