September Forest Walk

Homegrown Society

A guided walk through the Anne Bartley Smith Property in the Aurora Highlands

118 Stemmle Dr

Join us on Saturday May 3rd as we explore one of Aurora's prime natural forests - Case Woodlot!At this time of year you can expect to see rare ephemeral flowers all through Case Woodlot. Flowers like Trout Lilly, Blue Cohosh and Trillium are found throughout the forest. These flowers are currently under threat from Garlic Mustard, a herb that was brought to Turtle Island (North America) by early settlers. As we walk through the trails, we'll keep our eyes peeled for Garlic Mustard to identify areas where we'll need to remove it this spring. You'll also get to hear a classic sound of spring - the Spring Peeper frog!
