Brant For Nature

We regret to inform you that the Horticulture Workshop presenter has unexpectedly cancelled for this Sat. June 20, and we apologize if this has caused any inconvenience. In place of the workshop, we are going to run a 2-4km guided hike of the Pearson Property in Glen Morris. Jeff Leader has kindly volunteered to guide the hike where we will be visiting the Grand River, Carolinian Forest, and Prairie ecosystems. Jeff will also teach about the anthropogenic history of the area!
