BIRD WATCHING
Alfred Birding Trail
The Alfred Birding Trail features the natural jewels of two ecological sites in the Alfred region. The Alfred Bog, a provincial significant wetland and a municipal lagoon. These natural sites form a corridor for wildlife and are located within a 10 km radius. The Alfred Bog, with its 4,200 hectares, is the biggest bog of its kind in Southern Ontario. A domed peat bog that has been building for 10,000 years, it shelters many plants and animals that are rare or endangered, some of national significance. Examples include the Bog Elfin butterfly; Fletcher?s dragonfly; white fringed orchid; Atlantic sedge, and rhodora. The Alfred Bog is also home to a unique moose population in Eastern Ontario. For a map of the sites or a list of the birds, please check the website or go to one of our Travel Information Centres in the region.
