Wildlife is busy this time of year, so slow down and keep your eyes open while exploring HCA conservation areas. You never know what you might discover around the next bend in the trail.

Remember to admire wildlife from a distance and help keep our natural spaces safe for the animals that call them home.

Many hands and a lot of effort are helping transform Fifty Point!

Recently, students from the Hamilton Homeschool Network joined HCA staff for a BioBlitz, exploring local trails and documenting the plants and animals they discovered through our Nature Counts 3 project.

Using iNaturalist, their observations contribute to a growing community science effort that helps us better understand and protect the biodiversity found throughout our watershed. Along the way, they also helped keep our trails clean by collecting litter and caring for the spaces they explored.

Thank you to these enthusiastic young naturalists for making a positive impact on both nature and our community.
