Spring is almost here!

Winter is now making way for spring, but it will be some time before we can enjoy green grass and unfolding leaves. Meanwhile, the brighter days bring more energy and the longer nights are an invitation to explore. Try spotting some new signs of spring each day!

Take care when driving on thawing gravel roads as your car may sink deep into the wet gravel and get stuck. Urban areas may already be dry and clear of snow, but forest trails can still be slippery with a thick layer of slowly melting ice. We recommend wearing studded winter boots or removable studs.
Here are some lovely places to explore as you wait for the buds to burst open!
