The Conservation Lands Educational Program (CLEP) is designed to bring attention to local land conservation efforts. These trips are conducted on properties purchased to protect natural resources and will be led by a representative who will discuss ecological features and history. CLEP trips will be educational experiences, so the emphasis will be on much more than birding.
The 500-acre Prairie Creek Preserve encompasses a variety of uplands and lowlands. Ivor Kincaide will lead us as we sample several of them on this trip. Wear rubber boots or old shoes you don’t mind getting wet, as the trail can be soggy or even flooded. The woods should be greening up, and the resident birds should be singing.
Difficulty: 2 (may involve uneven terrain one to two miles).
