Senior Saunter at Harvest Square Nature Preserve
From the Saunter leader, Lynne Weninegar:
These walks are planned especially for those Land Trust Members who are nature lovers and at least 60 years old (or feel our age) who just want to relax and enjoy a slow pace while experiencing nature at its best. Please come prepared for nature’s little “distractions – ants, ticks, other “bugs”, and the heat”. You will need insect repellent, snacks, closed-toed shoes (preferably hiking boots), water, sunscreen and maybe a walking stick if you need extra confidence! Non-members are welcome for their first hike with us, but are asked to become members of the Land Trust of North Alabama prior to attending a second hike. We love providing fun for everyone on our Preserves. A membership offers you many other opportunities, as well as provides the Land Trust the ability to continue preserving land in North Alabama! We look forward to seeing you for this year’s Senior Saunters!
Join Lynne Weninegar for an early morning saunter along the boardwalks at Harvest Square Nature Preserve. View two naturally stocked man-made ponds, bring a fishing pole (if you have your fishing license) for a little “catch and release” time, or just hang out around the pavilion and watch birds and butterflies! If inclined, weed out non-native plants in the native plant pollinator garden designed to provide food and habitat for critical pollinators and help educate the community about the importance of implementing native gardening practices in their own yards. Or, you can just settle in and do a little reading or journaling! This preserve is unique in its make-up. Though the Preserve is in a very busy area, it offers a chance to be “off the grid” for some recreation not often available on other Preserves/Parks in the area.
In the event this hike has to be canceled due to weather or trail conditions, we will send a notification to the email address you use to register.
Location: Harvest Square Nature Preserve, 111 Allyson Sadie Blvd, Harvest, AL 35749
