Ivy Tech to offer nature hike

Ivy Tech Community College Columbus biology faculty members are offering free local nature hikes for anyone interested in learning more about the natural environment around them.

The nature hikes are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month. The next hike will be at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at Mill Race Park, 50 Carl Miske Drive, Columbus. Ivy Tech Columbus faculty member Tom Sobat will lead the hike and provide information about birds and wildflowers.

Hikes are open to all community members. Anyone interested in participating can meet at the parking area by the basketball court near the covered bridge. Ivy Tech will have several pairs of binoculars available but encourages anyone who owns binoculars to bring them.
