The Natural and Human History of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Nature Preserve

Two veteran Land Trust Stewards, Carl Cochrane and Bill Utley, will be leading this popular hike in the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Nature Preserve. The walk will move through two dramatically different ecosystems over about two miles of easy walking on developed trails. There will be several lively and interactive instructional stops along the way, covering several topics about the preserve, including how it came to be protected, its ecological importance, the threats to that ecology, its history from prehistoric to modern times, and its unique geological features. Members of the group will be encouraged to ask questions, which means every walk is somewhat different. Repeat participants are welcome.
