Guided Summer Hike - Aug. 3, 2024
Come join Blue Heron Ministries restoration ecologist John Brittenham for a guided butterfly and wildflower hike through the prairie at Clear Lake Township Land Conservancy’s Clear Lake Nature Preserve. On the hike participants will learn about the wildflowers and butterflies found on the preserve and the efforts that went into creating such a stunning prairie out of a previous old field filled with invasive species. John will talk about the butterflies and wildflowers and the unique qualities of the prairie and oak woodland ecosystems and why they are so important for our local wildlife. We will meet at the Clear Lake Nature Preserve parking area. The hike is estimated to be around 1.5 miles and will last around 2 hours. The hiking trail is easy to moderate, and no wet areas are anticipated. The event will take place rain or shine, but we hope for shine. For any questions, please contact John Brittenham at johnbrittenham@gmail.com or Caroline Barth at director@clearlakeconservancy.org.
