OWLS - Fen Walk and Talk

Event Summary

OWLS is a program specifically designed for adults to learn about and explore nature in and around Buchanan County.  Join a Buchanan County Naturalist to discover Rowley Fen.  A fen is a unique wetland area created as ground water moves upward through limestone bedrock.  During thousands of years, organic matter builds up forming a spongy, sometimes even bouncy, peat bed with unique wetland plants and animals.  While exploring the fen, the group may see fringed gentians, turtleheads, Riddles goldenrod, grass-of-parnassus, and many more fen plants.  Please be sure to bring waterproof boots, and be able to walk on uneven ground.
