Phenology Hike at Clark Nature Preserve

October 10 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
Join our community-based science program as we observe the plants and creatures that inhabit the meadow at Clark Nature Preserve!

Join our phenology volunteer team as we walk the Lloyd Clark Universal Access Trail around the meadow to observe and log our findings for the species we’re watching including birds, native grasses, wildflowers, trees, and insects. We are collecting this data to help us understand the impact of a recent ecological restoration project on this preserve.

There is a port-a-john on site. This event is recommended for ages 12 and up (participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult).
