Retreat to the woods on Black Friday (November 28) at 9:00 am for a hike led by Illinois Extension's Ryan Pankau to explore the wonders of a floodplain forest at the at the Sangamon River Corridor Reserve.

We will complete the 2.3-mile hike of the Bruce Hannon Levee Trail and learn about tree identification, floodplains, and more.

We will enjoy coffee* ☕️ and donuts 🍩 before we embark on our hike, and we will be joined by LCF’s new Executive Director, Eric Mollahan. *Please consider bringing a travel coffee mug.

The cold hasn’t stopped us in the past, but in the event of inclement weather the hike may be cancelled. Check the event page and LCF Facebook page if weather is questionable.
