Opax Mountain

Introduction

Established in 1993, the Opax Mountain Study program has acted as a way to demonstrate the many ways by which a forest can be managed. The interpretive trail walks you through a series of stops, each focussing on a different element of the forest ecosystem.

How To Use The Trail

  • Any classes studying the living or non-living environment may want to consider using this interpretive trail.
  • This trail could be used by both overnight and McQueen Lake day-centre groups.

Hints for Success

  • Although the trail has been designed as being self-guided, it is strongly recommended that you take advantage of your school's Adopt-A-Forester or McQueen Lake Resource Teacher.
