A Walk in the Woods & forest fellowship is a self-guided retreat scheduled for every 4th Saturday each month in 2020. One or more of our Friends of Chakchiuma Swamp will be there to keep you company and suggest points of interest. Meet at the Lee Tartt Nature Preserve sign.
COVID-19 Etiquette:
- Please respect social distancing guidelines while on trail
- Keep six feet between yourself and other non-family trail users. This might mean briefly walking in single file.
Hike one of our many trails, bring your own picnic and dine under the delicate cathedral of cypress & tupelo. In addition, fellowship with nature and each other as we remove trash & exotic invasive plants to keep the swamp healthy and beautiful. Join our group of committed volunteers for a ‘tidy-up’ at Lee Tartt Nature Preserve.
With over 60,000 miles of trails in the National Trail System across the 50 states, there is no lack of opportunity to take a hike. Lee Tartt Nature Preserve offers 6 trails, with a 1-mile loop on the South Trail, perfect for a peaceful moment of renewal. Extend your walk 1/4 mile from the scenic Grenada Downtown District to Lee Tartt Nature Preserve.
- No special skills or gear are required.
Bring binoculars if you have any.
If you would like to take this time to volunteer with us, we always need extra hands to help maintain the property. There will be some tools and supplies available. Please bring your own if you have them. We will provide gloves & garbage bags.
TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED:
bow saw
anvil pruner
work gloves
trash grabber
kayak or canoe
