A Chilly Morning Hike with Indiana DNR!

Today, Ouabache Land Conservancy board members spent a perfect spring morning at Atherton Island Natural Area with Indiana Department of Natural Resources Director Alan Morrison, Director of the Division of Nature Preserves Ron Hellmich, and Indiana Land Protection Alliance Executive Director Andrea Huntington! During the hike, OLC board members shared information about this truly incredible place and our work.

We saw so many spring ephemerals - phlox, red trillium, trout lily, bellwort, cut-leaf toothwort, spring beauties, hepatica, bloodroot, dutchman's breeches, rue anemone, maidenhair ferns, and mayapples! And, we saw a tiny snake weaving through the grass!
