The Ouabache Land Conservancy invites everyone to a FREE fall foliage hike of the Jackson-Schnyder Nature Preserve on Saturday, October 17th from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. This hike is to celebrate the eleventh anniversary of its dedication as a State nature preserve.  Dr. James Speer, Professor of Geography and Geology at Indiana State University and an OLC Advisory Board member, will lead hikers through the tallgrass prairie and approximately 25 species of trees found on the 15-acre preserve.  The address of the preserve is 1100 W. Concannon Ave., West Terre Haute. To get to the Jackson-Schnyder Nature Preserve, take Hwy 150 to St. Mary’s Ave and turn west, drive past the St. Mary-of-the-Woods College main entrance continuing west and turn left on Bloomtown Road, go under the railroad and turn right on Concannon Ave. Just past the bridge is the roadside entrance (on the right) to the preserve.  We do not require reservations for this kid-friendly program. Attendees will social distance, wear face coverings, and be encouraged to wear long pants, hiking boots, or good tennis shoes.
