On Sunday, May 12, at 1 p.m., join cultural historian Robert Tremain for “Early Woods” at the Bannockburn Conservation Area. Tremain will explain how Indigenous and early settler communities used some of the plants and trees still found in this area. Those who attend are asked to meet and park at 76249 Bannockburn Line: take Mill Road (Rt 3) and travel 2 km east of Varna and then turn north onto Bannockburn Line. This hike is open to the public but no dogs, please. The trail is beautiful but somewhat challenging, with several hills and valleys.
