Naturalist Guided Hike in Southern Ontario Forest | At Nature's Pace: Summer's Ebb Hike 2 4K60FPS

Backus Woods is one of the only old growth forests left in southern Ontario. Let's take a hike through it and the surrounding sand plain.

Did you find any mistakes I made, or something important or interesting I missed? Leave a comment with a timestamp, I love learning new things!

Would you want to see more hikes in more remote or difficult to reach places? Or somewhere interesting near me you'd like to see visited? Let me know in the comments.
