Hidden places

There are many hidden places in the city. Above is a wooded area of Conservation Drive Park, located in Brampton, ON. From the picture you wouldn't know that you are less than a km from busy highway #10 (Hurontario St.). This park runs from Conservation Dr. up to Mayfield Rd. It's a great location to get the younger sections out in nature. On our short visit to take this picture, my son and I discovered a fox borrow. It's also a great site for seeing songbirds. Goldfinches were located in the area surrounding where the path entered the woods. The bird boxes for which this blog is named are located at the north end of the park (just south of Mayfield) in the general area of the wet land constructed by the TRCA. The wet land is visited by a Heron on a regular basis. You can find the wet land just west of the pathway. The best place to park is in the parking lot off of Conservation Dr. (located on Conservation Dr. between Hurontario St. and Kennedy Rd.). This also the meeting point for a TRCA planting event in November (see upcoming events below). With the new Scouting season soon to start, you should consider a day hike to this park or the tree planting as part of your planning.
