Allison MacNeil’s hike to see the Marsh Elder (Iva frutescens – rated vulnerable provincially) has been relocated to Blue Beach near Lockhartville on Sunday Sep. 7 at 10:00am. This is because the restrictions for hiking in wooded areas remain in place for Kings County, but access to parks and beaches is still permitted.
There will also be the opportunity to visit Blue Beach Fossil Museum (open until 5:00)
