Green Friday Hike - Nov. 27, 2020

 Harbor Country Hikers (Berrien County club) will offer a two-hour hike beginning

2 p.m. Friday 11/27.  Fernwood Botanic Gardens -- 13988 Rangeline Road, Niles, MI 49120

Led by facility and groundskeeper Steve Bornell

Admission to Fernwood

Face Masks are required of all hikers

Our hike will be led by Steve Bornell, Fernwood’s facility and grounds keeper. Fernwood’s 55-acre Nature Preserve is both strikingly beautiful and unusually diverse. A 125-foot drop in elevation has created several natural communities, including dry and wet forests. young second-growth woods, streams and ponds, and a reconstructed tallgrass prairie. Species of endangered Michigan plants and animals are protected in the preserve. And, while you’re there, take time to visit Fernwood’s many facilities and gardens. Dress for the season. Wear long pants, sturdy shoes or boots and insect repellent, and bring water. Depending on the weather, there may be some muddy areas. The Hikers observe social distancing guidelines and the use of face masks is required.

Directions: Fernwood is at 13988 Range Line Road in Niles, Mich.
