Barrens Habitat Hike
Approximately 0.5 mile - Easy but with uneven terrain
Barrens habitats are anything but barren - they are teeming with life! Come see some of the flora and fauna of a recently restored inland sandplain heath (a type of barrens) and find out what makes these globally rare ecosystems so special. The hike is easy but the terrain is uneven, so secure footwear is recommended. Please come prepared for sun and ticks and bring water.
Meet at Gate 29, New Salem and caravan to site.
Dogs are not allowed.
