Upcoming Events

Beyond Trees: Seeing the Forest Like a Naturalist
Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. -- rain date May 3
A nature walk in Brushy Hills
Led by W&L Emeritus Professor of Biology John Knox

We'll be identifying trees and understory plant species, fungi, and any animals we see (including insects!).
Dr. Knox will talk about how the forest can best be handled to provide habitat for a great diversity of forest life
in the future, while also storing a maximum of carbon over the next several hundred years.
Meet at the main trailhead, 1010 Union Run.
​Parking lot space is limited; organizers will help you find a legal roadside place to park.
