It’s that time of year again!  Join MMLT on Saturday, October 18th (rain date, Oct 19th) for our annual Fall Colours Walk at Blueberry Mountain. Each year, Howard Clifford and his family generously host this special fundraising day to support MMLT and the vital conservation efforts we undertake in the Mississippi-Madawaska region.

Drop by anytime between 10 am and 2 pm to walk the trails, climb to the summit, and take in the glorious colours at this beloved fall destination. Blueberry Mountain is celebrated as one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County, and once you see the view, you’ll understand why!

MMLT staff, directors, and volunteers will be on-site throughout the day, ready to answer your questions. Whether you’re curious about the land trust’s ongoing projects, migratory birds, or unique geological features, our experts will be delighted to share their knowledge and connect with you.

We also invite you to pause at the Circle of Gratitude along the Blueberry Mountain trail, where a series of posts and plaques honour MMLT’s generous and dedicated supporters.
