Description
Back by popular demand. Water in the environment strongly influences the health of forests, especially in the dry southwest. However, trees also exert a strong influence on water and ecology on a local and regional scale. Corbin Carsrud and Anthony Luketich take you on a guided hike and lecture throughout parts of Carlito Springs. They take a closer look at the trees and consider the relationship they have with the local ecology. Restrooms available at the trailhead. Wear a hat, layers, and comfortable shoes. Bring water and snacks. This is a moderate paced hike on uneven ground with elevation changes and intermittent stops for sharing information. Parking is limited. Limited enrollment.
