Lewis Creek Preserve is an eight-acre preserve protected and managed by Conserving Carolina. MountainTrue Ecologist and Public Lands Director, Bob Gale, will lead a slow hike along the trail, interpreting the plant life, wildflowers, and value of pollinators on this property. The visit includes a boardwalk which overlooks an example of the remaining rare Southern Appalachian Bog ecosystems. Bob and MountainTrue have special expertise in managing these bogs and in addressing their threats, including non-native invasive plants.

We will hear from climate scientist Deke Arndt. Check back later for more details.

Bring a lunch and meet at the Polk County Parks & Recreation office at 11 AM. Then we'll carpool and set a shuttle before putting on the river. We'll take a break halfway to eat and relax. Please indicate below if you will bring your own boat or borrow one of ours. Our boats will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Come explore this beautiful section of river with us!
