The Ouabache Land Conservancy invites everyone to a fall foliage hike of the Jackson-Schnyder Nature Preserve on Saturday, November 1st from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.  This hike is to celebrate the 15th anniversary of its dedication as a State nature preserve.   Dr. Jim Speer, Professor of Geography and Geology at Indiana State University and an OLC Advisory Board member, will share about the preserve's flora as he leads hikers through the tallgrass prairie and approximately 25 species of trees found on the 20-acre preserve. 

The address of the preserve is 3635 W. Concannon Ave., West Terre Haute. To get to the 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. 

No reservations are required for this free family-friendly hike. Attendees are encouraged to wear long pants, hiking boots, or good tennis shoes.
