This hike will be led by Tasha McKee and Campbell Thompson of Sanctuary Forest, and Brad Job and Sam Flanagan of BLM. This one-mile hike has a moderate exertion rating and will cover uneven terrain adjacent to a small stream. Bring a lunch and water, wear sturdy shoes, and dress in layers.
We will meet at the Sanctuary Forest office in Whitethorn at 10 a.m. This hike is free of charge, though donations are gladly accepted and help Sanctuary Forest to offer this program year after year.
