Early Morning
Discovery Hikes At Darke County Parks
The Darke County Park District invites the public to join them every
Tuesday morning at 8am at Shawnee Prairie Preserve at 4267 St. Rt. 502
west of Greenville for their Early Morning Discovery Hikes. These hikes
allow adults a chance to watch the seasons change and to discover the
many life forms in their own backyard. The slowly warming tempertures
make this a great time to enjoy and learn about nature. These walks
focus on bird watching, trees, fungi identification, and much more.
Attendees are asked to bring a pair of binoculars if possible;
otherwise some are available for loan. Hikes will be held rain or
shine. If you have any questions about the Early Morning Discovery
Hikes or any other program offered by the park district, please call
the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or visit the website at
www.darkecountyparks.org.

especially the roots, reveals a reddish sap which can be used as a dye.
