Mountsberg Conservation Area

Date: Sunday 2012 April 1

Hike Leader: Deborah McDermott

Mountsberg Conservation Area has gentle terrain, perfect for that first hike of the season. You don't even need to pack a lunch, since It's Maple Syrup Time! You can purchase a lunch of pancakes and sausages, with maple syrup.

If you are not car pooling from York Mills and Yonge, we will be meeting at 11:00 a.m. in the parking lot in the Mountsberg Conservation Area .
