Tu BiShvat Hike

Tu BiShvat, known as the New Year of the Trees, is a wonderful time to get outside in the winter and spend time in the forest with your community. Join us to celebrate the new year/birthday of the trees. Through play, art, ecology awareness, and guided exploration, we will celebrate these beautiful, life-sustaining beings.

Date: Sunday, February 5, 2023

Time: 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Who: All Ages! This is a family friendly event. Portions of the trail are steep and hilly, but the main path is wheelchair, stroller, and walker accessible (weather dependent). We will be going at a slow to moderate pace. If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact Ellis to let us know how we can support you.

Location: Evergreen Brickworks. We will be meeting at Castle Frank Subway station and ending at the main parking lot at the Brickworks.
