Description:

First visit by the Obsidians to their adopted exhibits, Oak Woodlands and Oak Savannas, at the Arboretum!! We will split the group into 2 parts, one for each exhibit. Patrick Wegner of the Arboretum staff will give us the directions. As leader, I will float between the two exhibits as best I can given the terrain change.

There are convenient toilets very near our meeting point.

The last 15 minutes will be stories from the woods, from the leader.

Please meet at 9:45AM at the southwest end of Main parking lot at Pisgah.
