Wildflower and Old Growth Forest walk

Location: Meet at West Guardhouse, Oak Ridge Turnpike (Hwy 95)
Time: 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Description: We will see many native spring wildflowers as well as a stand of old growth trees which has been thriving for >240 years. Walking will be off trail, in moderately rough terrain (distance about 1.5 miles). Since this is an off trail hike in rocky country, participants need to have good balance and stamina. Dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes, and bring bug spray and water. Be aware that there may be some shallow wet areas we will be walking through, boots are recommended.
No pets please
