Description
2016 marks the 15th anniversary of the Steege Hill Nature Preserve, the Land Trust’s largest conservation area. Join us for a celebratory hike led by Senior Field Representative Kris West. Steege Hill offers a safe refuge at this time of year, as no hunting is allowed here. We’ll set out among the fall foliage in search of the birds, plants and other animals that inhabit this diverse 793-acre preserve.
