Grab your binoculars and get outside! Join us on a guided hike of a section of the Carolina Thread Trail.
We will start with a brief introduction to Leave No Trace hiking strategies, and then we will hike roughly 1.5 miles of the Buffalo Creek Preserve Trail which meanders through the 393-acre Buffalo Creek Preserve. We will pass through a piedmont oak-savannah restoration area, through natural forests, and past working farmland before walking along the banks of Adams Creek. This will be a moderate to strenuous hike, so get those boots ready!
