Holiday weekend Ideas

Are you and your family staying close to home this holiday weekend?  If the answer is yes (and you live nearby), we invite you to come take a family hike at one of our nature preserves: Stateline Woods Preserve, Marshall Bridge Preserve (aka Auburn Heights II), Vincenti Preserve, or Marshall Mill House Preserve.  Each one offers unique habitat and varying views.  You can also check out some of the programs we have going on this weekend.
  • Check out the Apiary at the Vincenti Preserve with the Open Hive Day taking place on Saturday from 9:30 until 11:00am. 
  • Or join us for our Seasonal Grasses hike with botanist Janet Ebert at Bucktoe Creek Preserve, Saturday May 25 from  9:00am -- 12:00pm.    
Afterwards you can do a little scavenger hunt with the family to see if you can tell us where we saw this Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) shown here.
