Salmon Walk

The fall is a busy and wondrous time as migratory species prepare for their long journey ahead to their destinations. Some species take flight and others swim upstream to spawn. Join Naturalists Lee Earl and Evergreen’s April Nicolle to learn about and celebrate the great salmon migration that takes place in the Don River.

The actual timing of when salmon migrate is largely dependent on weather, including rainfall and temperature, so cross your fingers and toes that they choose to be active in migration during our walk.

We’ll begin at Evergreen Brick Works in front of the Watershed Wall in Tiffany Commons and walk along the Bayview Multi Use Lane towards Pottery Road Bridge where we’ll look for signs of salmon swimming upstream. (The walk will be a total of 3km)

At the end of the walk we will come together for a salmon feast. To be as sustainable as possible, please bring your own feast kits. (bowl, cutlery, cups)
