Tsolum River Walk
1pm – 2:30pm
Join the Young Naturalists’ Club down at the beautiful Tsolum River to explore spring wildflowers. Woodland wildflowers are abundant this season, and we are sure to find pink and white fawn lilies and trilliums. The trail starts at the Courtenay Exhibition Grounds and loops through prime lily habitat.
A few wildlife viewing highlights that can be found along the river are bald eagles, kingfishers and herons. Some of the natural features include dense thickets of alder, a small remnant forest of douglas fir, and wet areas of salmonberry and skunk cabbage. Some of the largest sitka spruce can be found in the Tsolum River floodplain trails.
Meeting Place:
The exhibition grounds parking lot, beside the Comox Valley Curling Club on Headquarters Road, across from Vanier High School. The trail can be muddy, so wear sturdy shoes or boots
