The Ouabache Land Conservancy invites everyone to the 3rd annual "Jackson-Schnyder Day" hike at Jackson-Schnyder Nature Preserve on Saturday, August 14th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. This hike is to celebrate the legacy and land ethic of Dr. Marion Jackson and Julius Schnyder, the preserve's former owners and namesakes. Phil Cox, Purdue Extension Educator, Marty Jones, OLC President, and Claudia Cozadd, OLC VP of Stewardship, will lead hikers on the Julius Trail around the 4-acre tallgrass prairie; and then on the Marion Trail through the woodland to "Crown Point" identifying prairie and woodland plants, birds, butterflies, trees, and invasive species along the way. In addition, native plants for pollinator conservation will be discussed. The address of the preserve is 1121 W. Concannon Ave., West Terre Haute. To get there, 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. No reservations for this free kid-friendly program are required. Hikers are encouraged to wear long pants, hiking boots, or good tennis shoes.
