Anne, could you please let the members and NatureNS know that there is a
field trip planned for Wentworth Park, Cumb.Co. on this Sunday at 10 am to
noon. It is in the picnic park and we meet by the walking bridge. Bring
field guides, binoculars and fly dope. This walk will be easy and led by
Heather Drope. 440-5032 for further information.
Thanks Heather
ps I am doing this walk for the public thru the Parks program.
