Fall Foliage Tours, Sept 20 - Oct 18, 2024

Join us for a guided tour to witness the dramatic fall colours of Bunchberry Meadow's tamarack stands and to learn about the diverse features of this conservation area. Home to sand dunes, wetlands, and old-growth forest, Bunchberry Meadows provides a valuable habitat for many species such as moose and jack pine.

Please note

There has been recent evidence of a bear in the area; stay with the group. Please come prepared for the weather.
