The James River Master Naturalists (JRMN), in conjunction with Powhatan State Park, are offering a Native Tree Hike every Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 pm this summer. The one hour hike, staffed by Master Naturalists, utilizes the Old Cabin Trail to help participants learn how to identify up to twenty-five native trees. Participants learn how each tree benefits wildlife and society. Although there is a $5.00 parking fee for each auto, the hike itself is free to anyone of any age to participate. If you are interested in the joining the hike, show up at the shelters at the Picnic Area of Powhatan State Park at 2:00 pm. Wear appropriate shoes for hiking and bring sufficient water to maintain hydration. If you have a group that would like to participate in the hike, contact Don Smith (Owlorchardva@gmail.com) to insure that the hike is appropriately staffed or to schedule a hike at a more convenient time for your group. If you are a person with a disability and desire assistance or accommodation, please notify Don Smith at 804-514-9857 during business hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. *TDD number is (800) 828-1120.”
