I am! Our Parks and Conservation Ser vice list 66 trigs on public land in the ACT and 39 Nature Reserves in t he Canberra Nature Park. Most are quite easily accessed. Over the next s everal months I will plan and lead a number of trips to these locations for our mutual list ticking enjoyment. I’ll even keep our records. Han dsomely illuminated (digital) certificates will be issued at the end of the series 😂. Let’s explore the ‘backwoods’ of Canberra and its urban fringe together.* These two Nature Reserves are quite different. Callum Brae NR is part of one of the largest, best-connected and most di verse areas of critically endangered Yellow Box–Blakely's Red Gum Gras sy Woodland remaining in Australia and is a high-quality breeding and fo raging habitat for woodland birds. West Jerrabomberra Grasslands NR prov ides an example of ‘treeless plains' and grassland-to-woodland transit ion zones that were typical of much of the Canberra region before Europe an settlement. We’ll start and finish at the entrance to Callum Brae N R on Narrabundah Lane and wander through the two areas. Around 11km and 200vm climb. Note that this hike is an extension of the [Navigation Cour se #6 activity](https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3 816). So the first part of this walk will be a little slow as the studen ts navigate us around their course. We’ll then walk the narrow right o f way into West Jerra NR for a lap around the grasslands and a bag of Qu artz trig. Book on the hike. If you’re booked on the [Navigation Cours e #6 activity](https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/38 16) and want to join in on this, book separately on this hike. If you're not booked on Navigation #6 and want to do this hike, just book on this one. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3877 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
