Great walking through the forests and gardens. To avoid mosquito bites, choose to visit on a dry breezy day and stay on Centre Road (Orange Trail). This trail is also a good choice to enjoy nature while staying away from tick habitat. The blooms in the Dacha Prairie behind Chalet Pruche are visited by increasing numbers of pollinators including the Monarch and other butterflies!
