Field Trip: Turtle Flats
June 8 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Saturday, June 8, 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Field Trip: Turtle Flats
Leaders: Jared Tarr, Intern and Volunteer Coordinator, Friends of Buford Park and Mt Pisgah, and Dave Predeek
Join Jared and Dave for a 1.5 hour walk of Turtle Flats with an optional work party extension. Participants will see the transformation from gravel pits to restored wetland habitat with plenty of native plant species. The work party runs until noon, so attendees can get in a half hour burst of service work if they so desire.
We will be traversing some uneven ground, but primarily be on gravel roads/paths for a ~.75 mile out-and-back. Participants should dress for the weather, wear sturdy boots (waterproof a plus), bring water, and a snack if you’d like. Friends will supply any tools and gloves needed.
Meet at the gated area on Franklin Blvd East, just past the railroad trestle and across from the Emerald People’s Utility District building. Sign up here.
