About this Event

Growing from late September to early October, pawpaw fruits have a brief life - so brief they don’t last long enough to make it to grocery store shelves. Thomas Jefferson was so enamored with the pawpaw that he’s said to have sent pawpaw seeds abroad to foreign dignitaries.

Note: This is not a foraging event, and we will not be picking pawpaws. We do not encourage foraging on Conservancy preserves.

What to Expect: This will be a 3-mile moderate hike with some elevation changes and a stream crossing with a strong likelihood of getting wet. This event is recommended for ages 13 and up (participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). There are no restrooms available on site.

Where to Meet: We will provide the parking location for this event via email directly to ticket holders two days before the event (please be sure to check your junk folder if the email doesn't reach your inbox). The parking lot at Tucquan Glen & Pyfer Nature Preserves remains closed to the public.

What to Bring: Bring water, insect repellent, snacks, pertinent personal first aid, and shoes that can get wet. Dress for the weather. Hiking poles may be useful.

Event Leader: Before joining the Interpretive Ranger team in 2023, Kate Prisby partnered with Lancaster Conservancy in riparian buffer work at Climbers Run and building the new trail system at Tucquan Glen & Pyfer Nature Preserves. She enjoys sharing the amazing landscapes Lancaster Conservancy stewards with others.

Animal Policy: Service animals active or in training are welcome. Please leave all pets at home.

Refund Policy: If you are unable to attend this event after purchasing a ticket, refund requests must be made at least 48 hours before the event.

Cancellation Policy: This event will be held rain or shine, with cancellation for severe weather made at the time of the event. If the Conservancy reschedules the event, attendees will be emailed, and tickets will be automatically moved to the new date. If the Conservancy cancels the event, attendees will be notified via email when possible and refunded.
