Ross Biological Reserve: 70 Years of Ecological Study

Established by Dr. Alton Lindsey and colleagues in 1948, the Ross Reserve is one of the best understood forests in the midwest. Dr. Kerry Rabenold (Prof. Emeritus of Biological Sciences, Purdue University) will lead this hike down towards the Wabash River, revealing a surprising diversity of habitats. The changes that have occurred there over several time scales illustrates both the resilience and the vulnerability of forest ecosystems. Wear sturdy hiking shoes/bring trekking poles, if desired.
