Foraging Hike at Hickory Cove Nature Preserve

(Easy  / Around 2 hours / number of miles to be determined, but probably around 2)  Those of you who have hiked with forager Casey Lanier know what to expect for this hike: A meandering walk around the sunny edges of the preserve, stopping regularly to talk about whatever “forage-worthy” plants the group comes across. Summer is here, and with the new season comes more plants to learn about.  This hike will start at the Hickory Cove Preserve parking lot, but the exact route will be determined based on what there is to find. That said, expect a fair bit of walking. This hike is educational so we’ll stop often to talk and observe.
