Join Allyssa Gregory for a walk to see "How Historical Events Shaped the Forest of Merryspring," Tuesday, June 2, at 12 p.m., at Merryspring Nature Center.  

Learn how historical events, both natural and human, shaped the forests of Merryspring. This walk will complement her previous online presentation on this topic. During the walk, participants will have the opportunity to see the evidence of past disturbances that created the forest we have today.

"Please dress accordingly and wear good hiking shoes," said Merryspring, in a news release.
