10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Location

147th walk in the Wild Washington series

David left us earlier this month. He was the heart and soul of the wild Washington walks. He will be dearly missed. Obituary for David M. Culp, Jr.

We will honor David's life by going on a walk.

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. We will explore the geology and the extensive blueberry/huckleberry/azalea patches in this dry, upland Chestnut Oak forest.

Leaders: Liz Matthews, Allen Browne, Jane Hill and Claudine Lebeau

Notes: Easy to moderate walk.
