Spring Catawba Wildflower Glen Hike April 23rd, 10-11:30 AM Come visit the Catawba Land Conservancy’s first land acquisition, a small north-facing cove near the Catawba River just below Mountain Island dam. It is one of the most botanically diverse places in Mecklenburg County with over 100 different species found on the 20-acre site. This preserve is not open to the public except through exclusive guided opportunities. We will take a moderate hike on the property, looking at some of the wonderful plants native to our region with naturalist Mary Stauble. After we'll have a picnic lunch--bring your lunch and a lawn chair! Guests are welcome.
