Great Strides - Hiking For Health
Bruce Trail Discovery Tour.
Experience the unexpected when we visit six key areas along Ontario's world renown Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest footpath. The Bruce Trail provides the only public access to the magnificent Niagara Escarpment which is a United Nations (UNESCO) designated World Biosphere Reserve. We will be hiking six sections of the trail's total 840km length in and near the towns of Dundas, Caledon, Hamilton, and Limehouse. There is also time scheduled for exploration of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington and a jaunt through the cozy town of Niagara-On-The-Lake. This tour starts and ends in Toronto and is restricted to 4 to 8 guests per tour.
Or join us for our Eccosystems At Risk Tour.
There is a general agreement on the importance of protecting biological diversity, especially since humans depend on the services provided by living organisms and ecosystems. Urban sprawl and continued human encroachment into our fragile greenbelts threaten biodiversity by altering habitats and introducing non-native species. We will visit areas that are currently endangered as well as some that have been saved from the brink of destruction; Oak Ridges Moraine, Rouge Valley, and Petroglyphs Provincial Park to name a few. This tour starts and ends in Toronto and is restricted to 4 to 8 guests per tour.
Or contact us to schedule a get-away for your own group or organiztion for either tour.
