which community members/groups could get involved. The field days
were held in the following locations:

Sat. Nov. 5th. @1:00-3:00pm

The family-friendly field days each included a short hike (along
the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail where possible), a demonstration
of water quality monitoring and a discussion on the use of lichen
as indicators of air quality.
Approximately 40 people attended, including several who were
unable to attend the Community Workshops in September. Participants
were excited to get outside for a leisurely fall hike and learn
more about the moraine and how its ecological health can be monitored.
They were eager to learn how they could get involved with the
MTM project and expressed an interest in getting involved with
the upcoming training sessions.
