OLC invites everyone to a tallgrass prairie hike of the Jackson-Schnyder Nature Preserve, west of St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, on Saturday, July 17 at 9:00 A.M. Ten species of prairie grasses and sedges, including Big and Little Bluestem, Indian Grass and Prairie Dropseed; and 38 species of native forbs including Wild Quinine, Dense Blazing Star, Mountain Mint, Wild Senna, Compass Plant, and Rattlesnake Master were drilled into this former soybean field in June 2009. The preserve is located at 1100 West Concannon Ave., West Terre Haute, IN 47885. To get to the Jackson-Schnyder Nature Preserve, take Hwy 150 to St. Mary-of-the-Woods College main entrance located on St. Mary’s Road, continue west on St. Mary’s Road and turn left on Bloomtown Road (at the “T”), go under the railroad viaduct and immediately turn right on Concannon Ave., and just past the bridge is the roadside entrance (red farm gate on the right) to the Preserve. No reservations are required for this free program. Please contact Phil Cox, VP of Programs, with any questions at phil@ouabachelandconservancy.org.
