There are approx 5km of well-maintained trails:
Trails info

It is hoped that getting there relatively early in the morning will enable us to enjoy more birdlife and other flora/fauna, compared to other times of the day.

We will spend up to 2 hours or so at Clifford E Lee, then head a short distance to the NW to the Wagner Natural Area.
Wagner Natural Area
There is a short (1.5km) but very pretty interpretive trail around this area:
Trail Info

Note that parts of the trail at Wagner may be waterlogged, so please bring suitable waterproof footwear and expect to get your feet wet! :-)
Expect to spend at least 1.5 hours at Wagner Natural Area.

After visiting both locations, we can return to Edmonton for snacks/refreshments if desired.

TRAVEL DETAILS
There will be a carpool on offer - leaving from the overflow parking lot north of the WEM, on the north side of 90 Avenue, east of 175 Street.
Look for me with my yellow EOC baseball cap and standing by a grey Hyundai Elantra.

WEM to Clifford E Lee is approx 30 mins driving time, and Clifford E Lee to Wagner is approx another 30 mins driving time.
For those meeting at the carpool, meet at 8:30am for an 8:40am departure. We need to leave by 8:40am - please be on time.
Note that the carpool location is on the opposite side of the WEM from the transit centre, so please allow at least 15 mins between arriving at the transit centre and getting to the carpool!

For those meeting at Clifford E Lee, please be there by 9:10am, as the carpoolers should be arriving around that time.

Required Items to Bring:
Suitable clothing / footwear for the conditions
(note that the trail at Wagner could be waterlogged in parts)

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $21.46 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Tuesday, April 23, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
