SUMMARY:Foraging Hike at Harvest Square
DESCRIPTION:(Easy/ 2 hours) What can we find to forage in the hot weather of August? (Persimmons\, wild grapes\, maypop\, and more!) Join forager Casey Lanier at Harvest Square Nature Preserve to search out plants and fungi that can be harvested and prepared at home. The route for this hike will be determined by Casey. \nA FEW NOTES: This hike is educational\, so if you’re looking for a walk with no long stops to talk\, it’s probably not what you’re looking for. The hike is scheduled to last 2 hours\, but it may run long. This hike around the preserve is not intended for collection or consumption of species\, but more for identification and educational knowledge. \nLocation: Harvest Square Nature Preserve\, 111 Allyson Sadie Blvd\, Harvest\, AL 35749 \nSign up \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:**Cancelled** Senior Saunter at Green Mountain Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Due to forecasted weather\, this event has been cancelled.  We hope to publish a rescheduled date soon. \nThis month’s outing will explore the scenic Alum Hollow Trailhead at Green Mountain Nature Preserve. Discover the preserve at your own pace; bring a book\, nature journal\, camera\, picnic\, or binoculars! For those who like beautiful waterfalls\, you can saunter to Alum Falls\, which is about one mile from the Trailhead (Please note: The trail is easily navigable with the exception of a steep downhill climb at the end.) \nThe preserve is also home to fascinating history\, including a prehistoric Native American campsite and Alum Cave\, a rock shelter used during the Middle Woodland. You can enjoy looking at flowing streams\, towering pines\, native blueberry plants\, and other unique species that thrive in the area’s acidic soils. \nBe sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes\, bring plenty of water\, a walking stick if you’d like extra support\, and a camera or phone to take pictures! \nSenior Saunter is a Land Trust member-only event. Not a Land Trust member? No problem! Non-members are welcome to join us for their first Senior Saunter. If you enjoy the experience\, we’d love to have you become a member and continue exploring with us. Learn more at landtrustnal.org/join. \nSign up for this event is closed \nFrom the Saunter leader\, Lynne Weninegar:   \n\nSenior Saunter is designed for Land Trust members aged 60 and older (or anyone who feels young at heart and enjoys a slower pace). These gatherings are an opportunity to connect with nature and one another without the pressure of keeping up with a group hike or reaching a destination.  Some participants enjoy taking a leisurely stroll\, while others prefer birdwatching\, fishing\, reading\, journaling\, photography\, or simply sitting and enjoying the scenery. Senior Saunter is about spending time outdoors\, making new friends\, and experiencing our preserves in a relaxed and welcoming environment. \nFirst-time guests are welcome to join us. We invite returning participants to become Land Trust members and support the conservation of North Alabama’s special places. Please come prepared for the weather and nature’s little distractions. Water\, sunscreen\, insect repellent\, and comfortable shoes are always recommended. We look forward to spending time with you on the preserves! \n\nIn 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. \nLocation: Green Mountain Nature Preserve South\, Alum Hollow Trailhead\, 13800 South Shawdee Road\, Huntsville\, AL 35803
