Civil War Sites in Washington DC- over 100 walks led in this longstanding series.

We will visit another upland terrace-gravel forest. This is a Fort where the earthen fortifications can be seen and experienced as an historic example of a regenerated forest.

Leaders: Mary Pat Rowan and Lou Aronica

Registration is not required.

Notes: Easy to moderate walk.

Bring: Lunch and water. Wear good shoes and long pants because of poison ivy and greenbriar.

Cancellation Policy: Cancelled if pouring rain. Call Mary Pat before 9 am on Sunday if you have concerns about whether the trip is cancelled due to weather.
