Description
This leisurely hike through the conservation area will give us an opportunity to see a variety of spring wild flowers and other local flora. Maybe even a few invasive species.
If you are interested in starting to collect the requirements for your TBTC Biodiversity Naturalist badge this is a great way to get going. There's lots to see along the trails. The terrain shifts as we walk through the area and so do the plants we will see. Download I naturalist , Merlin or Seek on your phone to help with identification. There are some interesting sites within the conservation area too, including old brick works, a sugar shack, and a waterfall.
Please dress for the weather, this is a rain or shine hike but I am hoping for sunshine!
Bring your camera or phones, snacks, water, sunscreen and bug spray You never know what the the beginning of May will bring.
