Public Walk – Spring Flowers in Eldred King Woodlands

Date: May 9, 2026 at 14:00
Meeting Location: Eldred King Woodlands

Join us on Saturday, May 9 at 2:00 pm for a 2.5-hour, 4-5 km circular wildflower walk.

Leader: Sarah Kotsopoulos

Location: Eldred King Woodlands, Stouffville

Description: Explore one of the York Regional Forest Tracts and admire the diversity of spring ephemerals (wildflowers). This route will pass through mixed wood forests and old plantations that are home to a diverse array of wildflowers. Migratory birds should also be passing through. Spring weather may make trails muddy in spots, and this forest is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine meaning there are rolling hills throughout the property.

Details: A 2.5-hour, 4-5 km circular wildflower walk over mostly unpaved and uneven terrain with some steep slopes. Some stairs.

Meeting Spot: Parking lot of Eldred King Woodlands, 16232 Highway 48, Whitchurch-Stouffville

Getting There: Unfortunately, no access by public transit. The sign for the entrance is small and brown and easy to miss.

Accessibility: Dirt trails that may be muddy with spring rains.

Washrooms: Not available

What to Bring: Binoculars.

Toronto Field Naturalists wishes to acknowledge this Land through which we walk. For thousands of years, the Land has been shared by the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe. Toronto is situated on the Land within the Toronto Purchase, Treaty 13, the traditional and treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is also part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum, a covenant agreement between Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Wendat peoples and allied nations to peaceably share the land and all its resources. Today, the Land is home to peoples of numerous nations. We are all grateful to have the opportunity to continue to care for and share the beauty of this Land.
