Ontario Pathways walk

 Saturday, April 30, 10am: meet at the pavilion at 4317 CR 46, Canandaigua (New Covenant Baptist Church parking lot).  We will take a slow stroll south along Ontario Pathways to reacquaint ourselves post-pandemic as we learn from one another what we observe along the trail.  Feel free to bring field guides and nature apps.  Membership dues will be accepted at this event and several others through the year.  You do not need to be a member to attend.
