It's a little early but I'd like to let you know of this event coming in April.
I'll re-send when the date is nearer.
Butterfly and Plant Hike at Carroll Cabin Barrens State Natural Area
Location: Carroll Cabin Barrens State Natural Area, Bath Springs south of
Parsons, Decatur County. Meet at the natural area parking lot. A map to the
site can be found at:
http://state.tn.us/environment/na/natareas/carrollcabin/carrollcabin.pdf.
Date: Saturday, April 18th
Time: Meet at the parking area at 9:30 AM central
Leader: Allan Trently, Stewardship Ecologist, Natural Areas Program
Sponsor: Tennessee Division of Natural Areas
Reservations Required: Contact Allan Trently at (731) 512-1369 or at
Allan.Trently@xxxxxxxxxxx no later than April 17th.
Description: Hike the moderately strenuous 2.5-mile loop trail covering a 200+
feet elevation change along wooded ridges, limestone barrens and cedar glades
on the west bank of the Tennessee River. Learn about the animals and plants
found in the area and the reason for the State’s interest in preserving the
property and what makes it a significant natural area worthy of protection. The
trip leader will focus on the butterflies (39 species have been seen here
including the rare cobweb skipper) and plants. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water
and a snack, bring binoculars if you have them, and dress appropriately for the
weather. We will not go in the event of inclement weather. For more
information, including descriptions, directions, and maps, about this as well
as any other State Natural Area, visit the Division of Natural Areas web site
at: www.tdec.net/na.
