Join us on Saturday May 30 from 10am - 12pm as we explore one of Aurora's prime natural forests - Case Woodlot!

Discover the forest's history and ecology and observe rare ephemeral flowers like Trout Lilly, Blue Cohosh and Trillium.

For 6 years, Homegrown Society volunteers have been stewarding Case Woodlot. As we walk through the trails, you'll learn about how to take care of the forest, and have the option to participate in some Garlic Mustard harvesting along the trail.

The walk will be about 2 km long through forested trails. Some bending over, digging, planting and lifting up to 10 lbs is expected. The event will finish with refreshments.

This event is part of Make A Difference Week, hosted by the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER). An annual week of global restoration action where individuals and organizations from around the world host and participate in local volunteer restoration events. Through Make a Difference Week, everyone, everywhere has a chance to positively impact their local communities by engaging in hands-on restoration projects.
