Wawanosh Valley Conservation
Area will be the site of the annual
Fall Colour Tour sponsored jointly
by the Maitland Conservation
Foundation and the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority
(MVCA). This year the Fall Colour
Tour will be held on Sunday, Oct. 6
from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Fall Colour Tour has become
an autumn tradition with families
returning year after year to enjoy
walks along the scenic Maitland
River, children's activities and lots
of hot apple cider.
If the weather co-operates, two
teams of horses will provide wagon
rides through the Conservation
Area beginning at 1:30 p.m. A
wagon ride is a relaxing and
enjoyable means of viewing the fall
scenery. Not only are the trees
beginning to show their autumn
colours but there are also plenty of
meadow wildflowers adding to the
view.
