Field Trip to IDNR Nature Preserve of Funks Grove Members Only
This event has ended
Saturday, March 21st, 2026
Members Only Nature Walk/Hike
We will identify trees in winter, or at least try, as we meander to look for the skunk cabbage and the snow trilliums. The hike is about 2.5 miles—three miles if you want to see the "Bear Tree." It is a bur oak that we have measured to be possibly 400 years old. We will cross creeks in three places. If you don’t want to go the full 3 miles, there are places to return.
Bring water, dress appropriately to the weather. We will cross streams, so wear waterproof shoes/boots.
Members can find additional information about this field trip and how to register for it in your March 1 chapter newsletter. Questions can be sent to us at [email protected].
