You won’t see the woods the same way again!
Join author and terrestrial ecologist Tom Wessels for an interpretive walk to explore the ecology, natural, and cultural history of Keyes Woods Preserve. Specifically, Tom will be interpreting the history of the woodlands — whether they were once open agricultural land, impacted by wind events, fires, or logging — as well as unique plant adaptations and interesting coevolved interrelationships among the woodland species we encounter.

Please register using the button below. Note: this is the second of three interpretive walks with Tom on the same date.

The first walk is at Plummer Point Preserve at 10:00 AM and the third is at Crooked Farm Preserve at 3:00 PM.
