** Nature Moncton Walk for tonight Wednesday evening, August 10th,
2022
Tankville School, Malcolm’s Way & Vince’s Walk
This week’s Nature Walk is meeting at the Tankville School, 1665 Elmwood
Drive, at 6:30 p.m. The Tankville School
is 3 km north of Costco on Elmwood Drive, and 2 km north of the main entrance
to the Irishtown Nature Park.
We are beginning the evening with a tour and short talk inside the
Tankville School museum (the upper floor). This one-room schoolhouse was used
from 1868 to 1967 and is a designated historic site rarely open to the public.
Afterwards we will enjoy a 3 km walk, beginning through the woods along
Vince’s Walk to the old artesian well. After that we will start and continue
along the Malcolm’s Way board walk. This board walk is over mixed brush and
wetlands until it reaches the forest at the north end of the board walk. Here
we will see the ‘cathedral’ of red pines planted by Boy Scouts in the 1940s.
These pines are now 80 feet tall.
