Public Hike: Ecological Benefits of Timber Harvests

All members of the public are invited to see how NICHES is working to recover the health and structure of one of the most diverse woodland systems in the Midwest!

 

Join NICHES Land Trust's Stewardship Director Bob Easter for a hike to discuss the process, benefits, and impacts of the timber harvest at Shawnee Bottoms Nature Preserve in Fountain County. NICHES will offer two occasions to learn about this project on Saturday, September 21, and Wednesday, September 25. Both are scheduled to begin at 10:00 am (Eastern).

Easter will lead a walking tour of the timber harvest area and illustrate how this strategy is used to control canopy composition and cover for maximum ecological benefits.

Participation is free. Advanced registration is preferred but not required.
