Ontario Pathways
Please plan to join us as we check out the summer plants along Ontario Pathways south towards the train wreck loops. We'll also talk about ideas and plans for our sesquicentennial.
There's plenty of parking at the blue arrow on Railroad Ave/Waddell Rd between 488 and 23 in the hamlet of Orleans, NY.
It was a sunny and warm Tuesday morning when 5 members met for a walk along Ontario Pathways south of the Orleans water tower. It was also VERY BUGGY!
