Join Let's Hike TO for a fun urban walk through the Cabbagetown neighbourhood where we will take a pitstop at Allan Gardens, & Riverdale Farm, to encounter many different animals & plants.
The meeting point will be at College Station via North Side exit at 1:00pm in front of Bulk Barn.
We will first pass through Allan Garden to see some plants, turtles, & fish.
If possible, it is recommended to download the Seek App beforehand, which is available for both iOS and Android. The Seek app was created by the iNaturalist team (California Academy Sciences & National Geographic Society). It is an app that allows you to scan/take pictures of animals & plants to identify species while giving more information on it with some fun facts. It does require data to use though.
Afterwards we will head towards the Riverdale Farm where we will encounter some farm animals such as pigs, sheep, goats, ducks, horses, & chickens.
We will then head back to College Station where the hike will end at around 4:00pm.
Hoping you can join us for this awesome Toronto adventure!
