Participants
will visit some of the area’s oldest living residents, including a 400 year-old
white oak that native Potawatomi Indians likely sat beneath. One highlight is
to view gorgeous spring wildflowers in their natural setting and an opportunity
to speak with private landowners about the oak woodlands that they own and
cherish. The tour will also include a visit to one of the largest remaining oak
woodlands in the county – site of the brand new Community Research Forest, a
public-private partnership that will become a center of study, training and
educational opportunities about oak woodland ecology, health and care. The trip
will take place in rain or shine. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes for hiking
on unpaved trails over gently rolling terrain.
Cost is
$79 and includes lunch. Use trip ID: NST S23 005 when registering.
