Join long time Trail Guide, Bob, for a beautiful opportunity to get outside this Earth Day. Learn all about the preserve as well as some of the projects that are underway as you hike along the 2 miles of trail at this hidden gem of a preserve.

While this is a shorter trail system, there is a decent amount of topographical change and a set of steep stairs to take you to the top of the bluffs. Some visitors may find this difficult, but please reach out if you have any questions before you go. This is a free event, but preregistration is require.

The Trees and Landscape @ Johnston Mill Nature Preserve
May 11 @ 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Join us for an exploration of the landscape at Johnston Mill!

We will meander through the various habitats of Johnston Mill Nature Preserve and explore the landscape as a group. Through plant identification, we will learn together and gain a better understanding of our natural surroundings and the biomes we hike through. This is an introductory to plant ID hike, focusing greatly on tree ID through bark and foliage.

This will be a moderate 2.5 mile hike with decent topographical change. Trail features include several small bridges and erosion prevention steps that can be difficult for some visitors to traverse. This is a free event, but preregistration is required.
