THIS ACTIVITY IS NOW CANCELLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

 

This popular little ridgetop grassland is called a hayfield. Can you guess why? You'll take a look at some of the European grasses that now call this place home, and discuss the value of grasslands and how they are created, maintained, and lost. Docent Naturalists Frances Reneau and Helena Cohen will be your guides on this leisurely-paced hike along the Hayfield and Coyote Ridge trails.
Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after June 2 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close June 16 at 2:00 p.m.
