After an unusually cold, wet winter, it was hoped that we might have an early spring. The 8 inches of snow overnight helped to dispel that wish!
We will be having a couple of special programs this spring, with hikes led by two special guests: Karis Day Pumphrey will have two programs for children, and David Svetich will have a program regarding birds and butterflies. All hikes are approximately 3 hours long and moderately strenuous. Please bring snacks and water to fortify your strength. Dogs are not allowed because it’s a State Nature Preserve, and children should be accompanied by adults. Please wear sturdy shoes, as the trails are not paved. Call to reserve a spot on these hikes at (859) 744-4888. Hikes are limited to 20 people only. Hikes are free to members of the Friends of Lower Howard’s Creek. Donations are appreciated. A $5 donation is suggested for each non-member. All hikes will start at the Preserve’s main entrance/parking lot at 1945 Athens-Boonesboro Road unless otherwise noted.
