County Parks
DCP reminds you to enjoy Spring!
Darke
County Parks’ Naturalists would
like to remind you to take a minute and enjoy the season of
rejuvenation;
spring! The Park
District will be
hosting several upcoming programs for those who want to learn more
about the
seasonal changes happening all around.
Recently, Park Naturalists and local
nature-enthusiasts set out on a
hike at Alice Bish Park on Earth Day for a noon-time hike. As we strolled down the
paved path, 19 species
of birds were seen and heard. Several
wildflowers were found blooming along the path as well, including a
carpet of
spring beauties. Each
and every Tuesday
morning at 8:00am at Shawnee Prairie Preserve there is an Early Morning
Discovery Hike. Join
Senior Naturalist,
Robb Clifford, and discover just how much change can happen in one
spring
week! The most
recent hike resulted in
40 species of birds observed, over 10 wildflowers and much more! On Saturday May 4th at
1:00pm, Robert Henn,
author of Wildflowers of Ohio will host an informational program and
hike at
Shawnee Prairie Preserve on wildflowers.
This program will not disappoint!
Spring
is here and so step out of
hibernation and enjoy the season.
