Field Trip: Hidden Valley Nature Refuge

Leaders : Dale Hjertaas (306 529 3234) and Ingrid Alesich

Meet at Royal Saskatchewan Museum parking lot at 1:00 P.M. or join us at Hidden Valley Parking area at

1:30 P.M. We expect to return between 4:00 and 4:30 P.M.

We will hike a couple of the trails at Hidden valley looking for early spring wildflowers as well as spring

birds. We will walk in some of the forested coulee bottoms and up on the grasslands and ridges. Hidden

Valley is, as most members know, owned by Nature Regina. In recent years we have developed several

trails to facilitate access to the property. Hidden Valley is beautiful area and an excellent area to see

wildflowers. The warm weather should bring a number of species into bloom.

The guided hike will go from valley bottom to the valley top, but a shorter trail option is available for

anyone who may find the hike to the valley top to strenuous. Wear suitable shoes and bring a water

bottle. Everyone is welcome.

Covid Protocol: To reduce risk of transmission, masks are required when people are in close contact

with people outside of their normal bubble. Masks are not required when people are separated, and

we encourage people to spread out and maintain a social distance during the event. All participants

should have a mask and put it on if, for example, they are crowding together to look at an insect or

flower.
