Did you see the biggest colony of amazing Snowy Lady’s Slippers in Ontario? Do you know how pitcher plants catch insects? How many plants are adapted to survive in the bog? What kind of bird species inhabit such areas? During our excursion to Purdon Conservation Area on Saturday, we’ll try to answer all these questions.

Place and Subject of the Excursion:

We organize our next guided tour for people who are interested to know more about nature in Ottawa Valley. The end of June is a time when magnificent Showy Lady’s Slippers rain in the bog of Purdon Conservation Area, operated by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority. This area attracts many nature lovers at this time.

We’ll meet at 9:00 am in the lower parking near the trail around the bog of Purdon Conservation Area.  We’ll have an opportunity to enjoy the soft morning light for flower photography. We’ll explore also the area around, walking in the forest and near the lake to explore the biodiversity of Lanark County.

Dress:

It is expected to be a hot day, so, prepare for the attacks of insects in the morning. We suggest you take mosquito spray,  water, and a light snack.
