The Urgency of Spring – Britannia Conservation Area with Tony Beck

Tuesday April 9, 7:30 am

Today there were Al, Nina, Josh, Helena, Ian, Roger, Tony and me.

We began at Mud Lake checking the ridge and the wood.  Then we went to the point behind the filtration plant.  Then, after a quick stop at Tim Horton's, we went to Burnside, then to the dead end on Twin Elm Road.  From there went out to Munster Road, checking on both sides of Franktown Road.
