About this event
Join us for our new monthly hiking group here at Merry Lea, the Merry Lea Milers! During our time together, we will hear from a guest speaker about various nature-related topics while eating some lunch. Afterwards, we will spend the rest of our time hiking and exploring around the property. Please wear weather appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes, bring a sack lunch and a water bottle.
This month, learn about how fire is an integral component of the ecology of Northern Indiana. We’ll discuss why including fire in land stewardship practice is important, if not necessary, to promote and protect biodiversity in certain habitats with our Natural Resources Manager, Freya. Please be prepared to be outside for the whole time. Wear closed-toe shoes, pants, bring a water bottle, and a light lunch, generally dress for the weather.
