Ivy Tech Community College Columbus science faculty will offer free local nature hikes for anyone interested in learning more about the natural environment around them.
The next hike will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Driftwood State Fishing Area, 8825 S. U.S. 31, Edinburgh. Ivy Tech Columbus science faculty member Tom Sobat will lead the hike, exploring winter wonders on the network of trails along the Driftwood River.
The hike is open to the public, and all community members are welcome. Hikers will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at the first paved parking area at the fishing area.
Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for winter hiking, including wearing layers of clothing. The college will have some binoculars available for public use, but participants are encouraged to bring their own.
