On Sunday, October 6 the Mait
land Valley Conservation Authority
(MVCA) will host the annual Fall
Colour Tour at Wawanosh Valley
Conservation Area from 1:00 p.m.
to 4:00 p.m. Wawanosh Valley
Conservation Area is familiar to
many children in the Maitland
watershed as the site of the
Wawanosh Nature Centre.
The Fall Colour Tour features a
variety of relaxing activities suit
able for the whole family. Guided
walks, lead by MVCA staff, will be
available throughout the afternoon.
Visitors are also welcome to pick

explore the trails on their own.
Hikers will notice that the trails
at Wawanosh Valley have been
improved over the last year. New
boardwalking has been installed
and a larger wheelchair accessible
platform has been constructed in
the marsh area.
If you're looking for a less stren
uous way to view the fall colours,
wagon rides will be available from
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The wagon
rides will be approximately 20 min
utes in length and MVCA staff will
be aboard to answer any questions
you might have.
The great summer weather has
helped to create stunning leaf
colours. In addition, a variety of
late wildflowers remain in bloom
and the fall bird migration is under
way. The meadows and forests at
Wawanosh are awash with colours
and sounds, making it well worth a
visit.
This year the Fall Colour Tour
has special significance as the
MVCA is in the midst of 40th
anniversary celebrations. During
the Fall Colour Tour a special
MVCA anniversary display will be
on view in the Nature Centre along

books and games will also be set
out for children to explore. To cele
brate the MVCA anniversary free

bring a mug for their cider. The
