Bayfield River Valley Trail Asso- ciation now has several newly trained hiking leaders, eager to get out on the trails. We are offering at least two regular hik- ing iking events for each of the sum- mer months, the second Sun- day afternoon and the fourth Thursday morning, to be accompanied by three leaders for each hike. Hikes will be of varying degrees of length and difficulty. Some of the hikes will have an educational compo- nent to help acquaint you with our history and our natural environment For maps of trails, refer to Ontario's West Coast hiking guide. Generally dogs on leash are welcome but it is always best to check with your hike leader. All hikers are reminded to wear proper shoes and bring water. If you have questions or would like to make suggestions, call one of the hike leaders or contact program coordinator, thyra.knudsen@ gmail.com phone: Trail Talk Kate Procter 519-606-0016 Lantern -Making Work- shop and Candlelit Walk 2015 Want some extra fun at the Annual Maitland Trail Associa- tion Candlelit Walk: a kickoff to Goderich Winterfest 2015?
