Spring Nature Walks on Elkhart Hill

[April 20, 2015]  The Elkhart Historical Society is “Going Wild” in April. Each Saturday in April (and including May 2nd) by reservation, guided wild flower nature walks will be offered that share the beauty and variety of the ephemeral spring wild flowers on Elkhart Hill.

The guides for the flower walks are Gillette Ransom and Susan Jeffers, a team that has done a lot of research not only on the flowers but much of the folklore and medicinal uses in the past.

The finale on May 2, includes a 6:00am or 4:00 p.m. bird walk, with Ornithologist Rhetta Jack, Lara Borgerson, and Joe Funk, all superior birders with fascinating knowledge of the birds not only of Elkhart Hill but in many places around the world.

Come sharpen your skills or learn for the first time. A walk will be given at 10 a.m. which will combine birds, wildflowers and lunch, at the Wildhare Cafe.

See the Elkhart Historical website for a reservation form at www.elkharthistorical society.org.  Once you are ready to make your reservations, please call [phone] for reservations. You will receive a confirming call.
