Guided Nature Walk: Power of Peat

Explore the beauty of our trails with a guide to lead you through the diverse ecology represented at SHADOW Lake Nature Preserve. Guided Nature Walks are outdoor explorations that take place rain or shine. Come with weather appropriate clothes and shoes for moderate levels of walking – inclines or uneven ground may be encountered on this walk.

This week, explore SHADOW’s 5,000-year-old peat bog and learn about the wonders of peat. Touch sphagnum moss, glimpse rare plants and fungi, and learn how peat is helping humans avoid drought!
