More About Hike the Trust: Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve

Join Sycamore Land Trust at Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve in Monroe County to discover the rich natural and cultural history of this unique property on Lake Monroe. Along the trail, participants will search for eastern box turtles, rough green snakes, and ripening persimmons while learning about Sycamore's ongoing field research and stewardship efforts. Explore the preserve’s fascinating history, from limestone quarrying to its protection and restoration as a nature preserve, and discuss how these past land uses continue to shape the landscape we see today.
