 Sunday, June 28 (In 10 days) 8:00am  Recreation

Join us for our annual trip to an MHC property near Lauder to check out a remarkable natural habitat in western Manitoba. We expect to find the rare Western Spiderwort, hopefully in flower, a variety of other native wildflowers, and Spinystar cacti! There will also be a chance to see Lark Sparrows, Eastern Towhees, and Smooth Green Snakes.

This is an early morning outing, departing from Brandon at 7am. There will be an option to explore the surrounding area following our visit to the sandhills.

There are moderately steep sandhills in the area to climb or you can keep to the flatter, generally sandy, terrain. There will be 2-3km of walking. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear and bring water and snacks/lunch. Don?t forget insect repellent as the usual ticks and mosquitoes may be joined by sand flies or black flies. There is also Poison Ivy at this site!
