Grasslands Field Trip In Chester, Delaware Counties Set For October 17

Join  Natural Lands Trust  staff and Dr. Roger Latham as we visit three grassland/meadow sites in northern Delaware and eastern Chester Counties on October 17 and learn how they are established and managed to benefit wildlife and people.

The trip will begin at 9:00 a.m. Natural Lands Trust’s Hildacy Farm Preserve in Media where NLT has managed warm-season grass meadows for nearly a decade. We will then drive to a newly-planted meadow in Newtown Square to learn about the early stages of meadow establishment.

The last stop on the field trip will be Pink Hill at Tyler Arboretum, where we will see what a truly native grassland (serpentine barrens) looks like. The trip will end at about 12:30.

The cost for the field trip will be $25. Please register by calling Brenda at 610-353-5640, ext. 243.
