The pubic is welcome to join Ridges Naturalist Karen Newbern for a fall hike through the Ridges Sanctuary’s Logan Creek Property on either Friday or Saturday, October 1 or 2 at 10 am. Participants are encouraged to wear weather appropriate clothing and footwear.

The leisurely hike will be 90-mintues and cost $5 for adults. Children under 18 are free.

The Logan Creek area features a variety of habitats, with trails leading through upland deciduous forests, cedar swamps, and several natural communities. The sugar maples and beeches will be showcasing their fall colors and a few wildflower species should be in bloom as well.

Participants are asked to meet at the Logan Creek parking area, located at 5724 Loritz Road, just south of Jacksonport.
