​Nature Central Events and Nature Walks
Educational events and activities
We invite you to join Nature Central for snowshoeing or hiking (we will hike if there isn't enough snow to snowshoe) at the Lockerby property. 11am-1pm March 11, 2023.

Directions: 
Go east from Red Deer on Highway 595, then south on Highway 816 for 9.7 km. Watch for a small parking lot on the west side of the road (Please do not block the gate).

Please dress for the weather and bring snowshoes, snacks and water.

To register please email Caitlyn @ epc.rdrn.nature@gmail.com and so we can register car pooling due to limited space at the trailhead.
