Pettit Preserve Annual Spring Hike
Website
April 17, 2010


The Pettit Preserve
The Pettit Preserve will be open to the public for the Annual Spring Hike from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Trails will be open for self-led hikes and the Preserve's environmental educator will be available for interpreted hikes that provide insights into native animal and plant ecology. At noon The Boardroom for Planet Earth will be dedicated with a brief ceremony honoring the memory of Preserve founder Gay Pettit Dellinger. The Compost Demonstration area will be officially opened for the season with sections on compost heaps, drum and worm composting. The Pettit Preserve was created to provide environmental education and to promote ecological preservation. The 70-acre property features trails that include a swinging bridge, a Learning Shed, two aquatic stations, and three amphitheaters for teaching, all nestled around a 9-acre lake. Due to its educational nature, the trails are only opened publically at select times each year. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to experience nature.
