Canton To Host ‘Hike With A Naturalist’ At Fellows Creek

Area residents who are looking to explore the great outdoors and discover the beauty that nature has to offer are invited to join Canton Leisure Services on the Fellows Creek Wetland Nature Trail during a special “Hike with a Naturalist” on Saturday, November 14, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

This FREE, family- and pet-friendly community event will include a walk-through of approximately 0.75 miles of wetland areas with information and commentary provided by Justin Smith, a Community Outreach Interpreter from Huron-Clinton Metroparks.

“Staying physically active is one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy, especially in these stressful times,” said Special Events Coordinator Gary Marks. “We’re excited to offer this unique opportunity for participants to become better educated about this special ecosystem that’s right here in Canton.”

The entrance to the Fellows Creek Wetland Nature Trail is located in Canton’s Flodin Park, which is located at Morton Taylor Road and Saltz Road. Parking is available at Flodin Park’s parking lot, while spots are available. Participants can also take part in a photo scavenger hunt and get answers to their questions about this wetland ecosystem, as well as information on ‘Leave No Trace’ principles and recycling.

Although this is a free event, pre-registration is required at www.cantonfun.org. Choose from either of these two sessions: 10:00 a.m. with code SE1114 or 11:00 a.m. with code SE1115. Participants are asked to dress appropriately for the weather and to bring their questions about this unique trail. This event will be held rain or shine. Canton Leisure Services is committed to offering a safe, socially distanced event for participants, and staff; therefore, masks are required in order to participate in this event.
