Blue Mountains Bruce Trail Club

Blue Mountains Bruce Trail Club The BMBTC is a group of volunteers preserving a ribbon of wilderness for everyone in our community. Our area has wonderful hiking opportunities year-round.

We are one of the nine clubs that work with the Bruce Trail Conservancy by maintaining the Bruce Trail from Lavender to Craigleith. The terrain changes abruptly as the trail enters our area known as the Blue Mountains. Here are Ontario’s best-known ski resorts, set among high bluffs interspersed with deep wide valleys. From the trail, there are excellent views of the rolling countryside and Nottaw

asaga Bay. We host numerous hikes and various interesting events through the year to preserve a ribbon of wilderness for everyone in our local community. Come on out and enjoy them, we hope to see you on our trails! For more information, please visit our web site www. BMBTC.org or follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

A truly beautiful and educational hike through history and rewilding.

Linda Finley organized a unique outing for BMBTC hikers. On Wednesday morning, 8 hikers met at Duntroon Highlands to experience the Highlands Art and Tree Trail, where the president himself, Martin Rydlo, led the tour.  

Many art installations were set up along this 2 km loop. Each artist was inspired by different aspects of the land - from the resilience of native species to humanity’s collective responsibility for stewardship. The sculptures were made from a variety of materials like metal, driftwood, clay, dolostone, and old farm equipment.  

Their website says, “the trail invites a deeper connection with the land through the themes of natural history, human heritage, and ecological renewal.”

We admired the creativity of pieces like “The Wellness Wheel” and “Mosaic on Skis”. Visitors were even allowed to interact with the art (sitting on the “Arc Bench” or in the “Bateau sur l’escarpement”). 

This experience was truly educational - a definite “must-see”!

Bluebird box success!

Jim Lewis organized the three birding hikes that were offered this May through the BMBTC. The last of the three hikes took place on Saturday. Jim had the following to say about the event. 

“We had a very nice birding hike this morning at the McLeod Property. Kate Jaczko, our hike leader, is the Land Steward on the property and is a member of our Biodiversity Committee. She is very knowledgeable about birds and did an excellent job guiding the group, along with her mother who is also an expert birder. 

Kate is part of the Biodiversity Committee’s initiative to introduce Bluebird nesting boxes. These birds were near extinction. We saw two boxes where the Bluebirds were nesting which is very exciting and promising. Other nesting boxes had been occupied by Northern House Wrens and Tree Swallows. We saw several Bluebirds, including adults taking food into the nesting boxes to feed their young.

 Other highlights were seeing Indigo Buntings, Boblinks, and a Common Yellow Throat Warbler. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the outing.”
