Do you love trees, too?
Join the St. Clair County Parks naturalist-invasive species specialist to explore the trees of the rustic and rolling Columbus County Park on Saturday, February 1, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Meet in front of the Lodge.
Learn to use your senses to identify trees and plants in winter, how to care for trees and shrubs this time of year, and threats that local forests face. Discover what trees can tell us about a landscape, and share your own stories of trees and forests. Kirsten Lyons, St. Clair County Parks Naturalist – Invasive Species Specialist said, “Trees help cool and clean air and add much value to our parks and communities. Bring your sweeties, hug some trees, and help tell their stories!” Enjoy warming up with hot cocoa and cookies by the fire after the hike. All are welcome at this free and family-friendly event. Pre-registration is recommended, contact Kirsten Lyons, klyons@stclaircounty.org, (810) 989-6317. Watch the St. Clair County Parks and Recreation Commission Facebook page for updated information about this event and in case of severe weather.
