Saturday, June 21 and 22—Bjorge Farm in the Battle River Hills. This trip will involve a three hour easy to medium hike through the Battle River Hills as well as the possibility of turkey vultures nesting in the old homestead. There are two options for this trip. You can go out on Saturday and camp overnight at the Ferry Point Campground. (Some tents will be available if you don’t have your own. Bring your own food, and sleeping gear. There is a minimal cost for the campsite.) Second option is to meet at Meeting Creek (approximately a two hour drive from Red Deer) at 10 a.m. on June 22. Please bring insect repellent and sunscreen. On Saturday night there will be a Potluck Supper.
