Naturalist Meander with Dan Dubie, incredible naturalist and ecologist-Explore the woods of Deer Run Nature Preserve in detail, stopping to wonder at the remainder of a red pine plantation planted after the Hurricane of 1938 decimated the white pine forest, to figure out why there is a ravine here and a plateau there, what caused that pillow in the forest floor right next to a deep crater, the mushrooms along the trail that are so plentiful this year and are they edible, the name of the tiny plant that can be discovered on close observation of an old log and the name of the bird that is vociferously accompanying us on this walk. The total distance of this meander will be as far as the hikers want to go. Bring water and a snack or lunch.
