Nature Miramichi is having a field trip to look for spring wildflowers at Metepenagiag Heritage Park in Red Bank this Saturday June 1. (Sorry about the short notice.) Last year we saw lots of interesting species, but with an early spring we may see different ones this year.
There are 1.8 km of trails that are fairly easy walking and are free of charge for users. Those who wish to visit the displays at the Heritage Park or check out the gift shop can do so later, the fees were $8 adult or $6 senior last year.
Everyone is welcome to join us including children although younger children may be impatient with the slow pace of a botany walk! You don’t have to be a club member to attend. We will meet at the parking of the Sunny Corner Irving at 9:30 am, the park is just a few minutes away. If you arrive late and want to see what trail we are on send a text to Peter at (506) 625-2509. Sunny Corner is about 25 minutes from Newcastle.
Although it is a botany walk, we won’t restrict ourselves to plants only. There is a very active Bank Swallow colony and we could see some other not so common birds. Last year a Black-billed Cuckoo was heard but not seen.
