SUMMARY:North Glenmore
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful Field Trip. We start at Parking Lot C at 9:00am and follow the reservoir for the first bit before heading away from the shore.

The trip is suitable for most abilities\, but not for wheelchairs or walkers. We are off the paved bike path for most of the trip. There are lots of benches to take a rest. There are port-a-potties on most of the parking lots and heated bathrooms at the north-east corner of the park. Last Saturday of each month at North Glenmore Park. Generally a two hour field trip at a comfortable pace. Register with leader: Penny Smith (403 807-8137).

SUMMARY:North Glenmore
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful Field Trip. We start at Parking Lot C at 9:00am and follow the reservoir for the first bit before heading away from the shore. Because of the combined reservoir\, wetland\, plus spruce trees we see quite a variety of birds and mammals; all year long. The trip is suitable for most abilities\, but not for wheelchairs or walkers. We are off the paved bike path for most of the trip. There are lots of benches to take a rest. There are port-a-potties on most of the parking lots. Last Saturday of each month at North Glenmore Park. Generally a two hour field trip at a comfortable pace.
