This year our spring hike took place in Heber Down Conservation Area north of Whitby.<\/p>\n

Heber Down Conservation Area is host to a mosaic of plants and animal communities. It is located within the Lynde Creek\u00a0drainage basin<\/a>; it is a part of the provincially significant Heber Down Wetland Complex.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The area is composed of two types of broad terrain units: a valley formed by the creek and the\u00a0Glacial Lake Iroquois<\/a>\u00a0beach.[2]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0 Close to the city, yet country quiet, Heber Down Conservation Area is a great place for a quiet walk.<\/p>\n

Twenty-eight members and friends registered for the event. All but one showed up. It was a pleasant afternoon and we hiked along the trail leading to a small pond. We finished the 7 Km hike in about three hours. After the hike, twenty-two of us went along to a big feast in a restaurant in Markham.<\/p>\n
