Join Backcountry Women as we take a scenic and peaceful morning walk through the beauty of Birds Hill Park, where we will engage in some nature activities and then pause to gather for a delightful Tea Time on the Trail. We will serve you some teas to sample, where you can indulge in a variety of aromatic teas including unique forest blends sourced from the Canadian Boreal forest. As we savor our beverages, we'll have the opportunity to connect with other nature enthusiasts and share our love for the outdoors.
