During Summer 2017, ReForest London welcomed many people to celebrate Ontario Forests with our Forest Hike Series for Ontario and Canada's 150th Birthday! Our hikes were held in the Forest City, throughout the months of May to July, many taking place in Environmentally Significant Areas. 

During summer 2018 we continued to offer hikes to the public, for Londoners keen on learning more about the natural areas London has. 

This year, we are continuing to offer hikes for nature-loving Londoners! This year's Forest Hike Series dates are listed below. These hikes will be led in several of London's many ESAs as well as Harris Park to provide those with accessibility needs the opportunity to participate as well!

Did You Know?

In the City of London, 21 natural areas are currently designated as “Environmentally Significant Areas” or ESAs. These areas exist within both agricultural and urban settings and include wetlands, forests and meadows as well as river corridors and valleylands and significant wildlife habitat. 

Special thanks to MEC and the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund for funding our summer hike series!
