Trip Description

Join Robert Wesley for an exciting botanical foray to Lorraine Gulf on the Tug Hill Plateau. We will be looking for rarities such as bird’s-eye primrose (Primula mistassinica). The deep canyon of Lorraine Gulf is a biodiversity hotspot and has had a long history of botanical exploration.

The terrain can be challenging. Be prepared with stout hiking footwear, rain gear, lunch, and adequate water. We will cross the stream repeatedly, so you may want to use rubber boots. Assume there are ticks so be prepared to repel them.

We will meet at 10:00am at a location that will be communicated to those who register. We will plan to return to the vehicles at around 4:00pm.
