The Maitland Trail Association holds two big events each year - The Candlelit Walk in the Maitland Woods in February and the El Camino Maitland, which was held on Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21.

We have been having excellent weather for hiking lately; cool mornings and usually sunny afternoons with few if any biting insects.

Spring has finally arrived and seems to have decided to stay. Many wildflowers have now joined the early ones (Skunk Cabbage, Coltsfoot, Hepatica and violets).
