May 11 | School Day 9am - 2:30pm |
Heber Down Conservation Area is located in the Lynde Creek Watershed, in Whitby Ontario, and is the Base Camp for the first of our 2018 Durham Region BioBlitzes. The conservation area is home to a variety of different habitats, including valley lands, dry uplands and wet woodlands, which makes it an ideal location for a bioblitz.
There are three main trails spanning more than 5km within the conservation area, and features the Devil's Den fishing pond and a picnic area that sits on the banks of the Lynde Creek. This picnic shelter is the home of the 2018 Lynde Creek Watershed BioBlitz Species Depot! Click here to learn more about Heber Down Conservation Area |
