Description



Join us Saturday May 23rd from 10am to 12pm for a guided tour of the Dale T. Morris Ecological Park at Barberry Woods led by Katie Ellis of Biohabitats. This 20-acre site has been planted with incredible native plant communities to manage floodwaters for the surrounding neighborhoods. Following up on the May 19 by Biohabitats founder Keith Bowers, this field trip is designed to explore the challenges and opportunities of a "living with water" approach to flood mitigation that provides multiple co-benefits for biodiversity. 

Parking is limited on site, so we will meet at the Food Lion parking lot at the corner of Maybank Highway and River Road at 2770 Maybank Highway (Google Map | Apple Map) and carpool or caravan the short drive to street parking available on Bee Balm Road near the park. Further details will be available to registrants, and registration opens two weeks before the field trip.
