Guided Outings
Attend a guided outing
WBFN offers a variety of outings for members to learn, explore and participate in the natural environment. Excursions can range from birds, to butterflies, to wildflowers, or just a beautiful walk in the forest. They can be full days, short walks, stationary gatherings, or short notice “on-the-fly” events to take advantage of quickly changing natural conditions. Outings offer a range of mobility levels from moderately challenging to stationary observations which we like to call “big sits”. Best of all, our volunteer leaders are eager to share their knowledge and help you explore the environment of Northumberland County.
Outings coming up soon
Fungi Outing
Date: Saturday Oct 3rd @9:00 am or 11:30 am (2 time slots)
Location: Haddon Nature Reserve
Leaders: Kate Hayday and Dari Haddon
This is a joint outing with Northumberland Land Trust.
Details: Kate Hayday, WBFN’s local mushroom enthusiast will join host and land donor Dari Haddon for a guided exploration of one of the newest NLT properties — the Haddon Nature Reserve. With its lush old forest and beautiful creek, we’re sure to find fungi who call Haddon home.
Join us for the early morning or late morning group as Kate offers an introduction to learning to identify mushrooms on your own and introduces some of the fungi you’re likely to encounter in the woods of Northumberland.
