It's a patchwork of forest, livestock pasture, and mountainous fields that was actively farmed and heavily grazed by cattle from the late 18th century until the recent past.In 2012, with funding from the USDA, PEC began an extensive restoration effort on the 50-acre parcel. We first eliminated fescue and other non-native plants from the pasture and then seeded native grasses and wildflowers. The property now serves as an active demonstration site for landowners interested in seeing the outcomes of habitat restoration practices.The 16-acre native meadow is home to songbirds, butterflies, raptors, bees and black bears. Native wildflower species provide forage for pollinators and habitat for grassland and shrubland birds. PEC manages the meadow using prescribed fire, late winter mowing and invasive species monitoring. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/7fb0b990-1edd-11f1-8ce5-afcd59d33ab9-rimg-w1110-h740-dc4a5d2f-gmir.jpg Event DetailsWeather policy: This event will be canceled in the event of severe weather.What to wear: Dress for the weather and wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you can hike in!
