Summer Guided Tree Walk at the Ivy Creek Natural Area (ICNA)

Enjoy a fun and informative summer walk in the woods with Tree Steward David Marrs at the beautiful Ivy Creek Natural Area. David will begin the walk with a conversation about the area's trees and landscapes, exploring how they reflect both the cultural and natural history of the land. Along the way, he will discuss why certain trees grow where they do and share tips for identifying the most common species.

This easy to moderate walk will be on established well maintained trails with only slight inclines and declines. We will be in the open sun for only a short portion of the walk and spend the majority of time on trails in the shaded woods.

Please meet at the Ivy Creek Natural Area kiosk as you go from the parking lot towards the barn. We recommend wearing long pants, sturdy boots, bringing water and insect repellent.
