Spring Wildlife Walk at the Land Between the Lakes with State Naturalist Emmalee Taylor
Come join us for a fun Saturday outing at the LBL with Tennessee State Naturalist Emmalee Taylor. Emmalee will discuss the forest flora and fauna as we hike, as well as the ecological processes that take place. Our walk will take us through communities as varied as the Panther Creek Wet Meadow and the more upland Devil's Backbone area. We will be meeting at 9:30 CST at the LBL South Entrance Welcome Station and caravaning from there to the trailhead. We will break for lunch around noon and should be finished by 3:30. The walking will be mostly gentle terrain, but do wear good footwear, and bring a meal/snack and drink. Space is limited so please contact us if you are planning to attend.
