Our Regional Park system is an important part of the ecological legacy to coming generations. Maintaining this legacy depends on understanding and appreciating the constituent values it helps sustain. The best way to preserve it is to use it.
As the fall migration cycle begins again, many birds come through our region. Bear Creek Regional Park is an important varied ecological site that provides connectivity for migratory birds. Local birding experts, Dr. Art Martell and Dave Robinson will be leading a public walk around Bear Creek Park on Sept. 15, Saturday. Participants should either meet at 8:15am at the Old Church on Harmston Street , or at 9am at park entrance. Inquiries should be directed to Art Martell 334-2979.
