SUMMARY:Hike at Bethel Spring Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:(Moderately difficult / 3 hours/ 3 miles) Bethel Spring Nature Preserve has one of the most beautiful waterfalls on any of the Land Trust preserves and one of the largest in Madison County. This hike will start with an easy walk on the Bethel Creek Loop Trail. Things get a bit more challenging though as the route follows the Carpenter and Falling Sink Trails up to the waterfall. This trail is moderately difficult because of the 400 feet of elevation gain needed to get to the waterfall. After spending time at the waterfall\, the group will head back down the Mill Trail and back to the trailhead. \nLocation: Bethel Spring Nature Preserve – 2641 Cherry Tree Road\, Gurley\, AL 35748 \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. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Steven Tom\, The Aviator
DESCRIPTION:Join The Snail on the Wall as we delve into WWI history through Steven Tom’s newest biography\, The Aviator: A Biography of James R. McConnell\, Lafayette Escadrille Fighter Pilot. \nThe event will be at The Snail on the Wall bookstore. Tickets are $5\, with $5 going toward any book purchase at the event. \nGet Tickets Here \nAbout The Aviator:\nJame R. McConnell was a fighter pilot in the famous squadron of American volunteers who fought for the French prior to US entry into World War I\, the Lafayette Escadrille.\nPrior to joining the escadrille\, McConnell served in France as an ambulance driver. He documented the front\, both on the ground and in the air in Flying for France\, a bestselling book published just before his death. A modest character\, Jim included very little information about himself in his book. Even while at the front\, McConnell remained in regular correspondence with his family\, friends\, and girlfriends. A large volume of these original letters are preserved today. \nAbout Steven Tom:\nSteve Tom grew up in northern Indiana\, traveled around the world during a 20+ year Air Force career. When Steve was sixteen his great aunt gave him a copy of “War Letters of Kiffin Yates Rockwell\,” a pioneering World War One pilot. This sparked a lifelong interest in that war and led to “First to Fight\,” the story of Kiffin Rockwell published by Stackpole Books. Steve is a member of the League of World War One Aviation Historians.

SUMMARY:Hike at Harvest Square
DESCRIPTION:(Easy / Around 1 hour / 1.75 miles) Harvest Square Nature Preserve has a lot of things about it that appeal to the casual hiker: Its trails are relatively easy to walk on\, there’s not a lot of mileage\, and – best of all – there are no hills! Mapping this hike shows it to have a whopping 20 feet of elevation gain over nearly two miles. While the exact route of the hike will be determined by the leader\, participants will see nearly the entire preserve with the exception of part of Senators Trail. Much of this walk is along crushed limestone paths and recently-installed boardwalks. \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: Harvest Square Nature Preserve\, 111 Allyson Sadie Blvd\, Harvest\, AL 35749 \nSign up \n
