Visitor Instructions
- This event is organized by the Kawartha Land Trust and starts at 7:30 with an introduction to the PAA and what people can expect to see.
- This year we made some major improvements to the site. Visitors may park down along the left-hand (north) side of the driveway.
- There will be KLT volunteers there to direct traffic. (Sunset is at approx. 7 pm.)
- Please wear solid footwear as there are rough patches in the observing area and wear warm clothing.
- Also make sure you have a red flashlight or headlight so that you can find your way around without compromising other people's night vision.
