(photo/submitted) ABCA hosts 32nd Bannockburn hike By Nina Van Lieshout TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF SOUTH HURON — The 32nd annual Bannockburn hike is Oct. 2nd.

It is also home to a wide variety of wildlife includ- ing the kingfisher, wood- pecker, beaver, white- tailed deer and snowshoe hare. There is also an assort- ment of plant life there, such as highbush cran- berry, ninebark, wild grape and wildflowers like black-eyed susans, common blue violets, wild ginger and ferns.
