New trails have been added to the Rollins Savanna which offer excellent views of restoration activities and wildlife of the 1225 acre site. We will enjoy soup made from nothing but a stone (and anything that generous spirited participants bring) before the hike, and then spend a couple hours hiking 5 miles on the new trails. Directions from South:
N on 83
E on Washington to Atkinson Road
N (left) into parking lot.
Meet at picnic tables next to restrooms.
